I nearly forgot the garage door included on the Century Skyway...silly me.
That is a great set, and don't regret ever purchasing it.  I already had
the 6392 Airport, but the Skyway was mandator since it had a nice control
tower, that I could also use to monitor space launch traffic from the
6339 Shuttle Launch.
When and How much did you buy your monorail for.  I bought mine about 16
months ago for just over $300 on E-bay.  A little more than I'd care to
spend but again, money well spent, in my opinion....of course I am refering
to the 6399 Airport Shuttle (aka "The Monorail")
I put together mine, and the only thing about mine was a couple of pieces
missing, and a couple of other substitutions :-(  The missing pieces weren't
vital, just could have add a bit of realism to the set.  I really loved
the way the set functioned, especially the swith stations (stopping, or
going 180 degree-direction!!)
What about Light n Sound.  I thought I'd never be able to get the Light
N Sound Fire Truck or the Airport Fire Squad - two great fire trucks if
you ask me.  I also have 2 copies of the L&S Police truck and 1 copy of
the Night Patroller (Euro set!!!)
