That's a really cool idea - you've now put me off building houses completely
as I try to work out how to do a hanging railway of my own!

This concept train only has one car.  The ideas are that:
- One side of the trans-clear side panels hinges upward for access to the
interior,
- the under hanging car swings out through curves
- only one direction of curve keeps the monorail pedestals on the inner radius

This is mostly just a design concept.

The lattice stands (wish I had this many!) below the monorail stands would
be replaced by basic bricks.

Not too sure how I'd expand the train for more cars.  However, maybe the
weight would be to much for the cantalevered track?  Maybe magnetic couplers
above the track with separate pendular cars beneath the track?

I'm considering putting the driver's cab on top of the motor above the track.

I built a real-brick model of the monorail stands, track, motor, and bracket
to hold the passenger car.  But, I haven't added the passenger car.  It
doesn't tip over.  But, the weight of the passenger car might be enough to
cause disaster!  ???

I'd like to eliminate every other monorail stand.  Maybe bridge the gap with
pinned Technic beams?

Thanks for taking a look.
later,
James Mathis
