Very cool.
However I think when it comes to making monorails stop and go, it's
often better to not use the switches that LEGO makes, but instead to
just use sloped bricks to cause the same effect. An inverse sloped
brick placed with the studs facing away from the guideway will do a
pretty good job instead of the LEGO models.
I love your switch automation idea, though. Now to make it a bit
smaller... :-)
