Thanks for taking a look.

I checked out the Wuppertahlbahn a few weeks ago, and then again last night.
Amazing diorama and impressive monorail.  I love the trapezoidal support
structure for the 4.5v single track.  Going 4-wide for the cars and using
only a single track is a great way to potentially get two trains
side-by-side on parallel track with two radii of curve!  Two concerns of
Wuppertahlbahn construction:
1) the train didn't look like it had motive power. Does it?  9v battery with
maybe the little red Technic micro motor?

It say's : Ein elektrischer Antrieb ist nicht vorhanden, witch means that
there's no electrical drive, so no motor at all.

anyhow, it's nice done.
