Cool.  Have you run one on a track that includes reverses, or did the
monorails just run loops?  I wonder if the additional weight might cause a
bit of trouble when the motor suddenly switches directions.

The reversing switches work just fine, we have had some problems with using
the automated switching feature of the points.  Cary will have to elaborate
on this issue as I can't recall what didn't work correctly.
