No curves, that's kind of the joke of the MARTA system. I only has two
lines, one East and West and another North and South. And they wonder why
the system is so unused...it really needs to have stops at places people
want to go for them to want to use it. (it does go to the airport and that
is nice)

I like the detail on the elevated train, including the traffic light hanging
under the track.

We had a working elevated train at one time, a simple Mindstorm system
controlled it going back and forth. It was modeled after the local MARTA
train line in Atlanta.

Sweet. Did it have any curves? Those protective ridges would presumably need
to be widened a bit.

Yeah, I've been saying for the longest time that MARTA needs to go from hub and spoke system to a series of loops... imagine MARTA's east line runing up to Stone Mountain, out to Snellville/Lawrenceville, to Duluth, then right along 85 to Doraville (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
