All bets are off WRT to the "momorail" ;-), but as far as monorail goes, Brad Justus was asked point-blankedly what the chances were that TLC would rerelease the monorail, and his answer was 0%.

And why would one be good for 'inductive' loads such as (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
