Hello all, 3vilrain Monorail - (2 URLs) I've been wanting to do this idea for some years, and I finally had everything I needed. It uses no official monorail parts, no parts were modded to make this design work, and the design is all Lego parts. (...)

(...) Ooh, I like your V2... it has lots of parts that non trainies would like too (they can trade off the few train specific things like wheels...)

Hallo Lego® train lovers, (URL) You probably know it,... the motor wheel tires of the lego® trains from the70’s (blue era) and 80’s (grey era) have dried out. Your train is still in great condition, but the tires run from their wheels, resulting in (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) True, true, but I'm thinking I would almost rather not waste the slots in the palette with clicky hinged versions... they're that bad. I'd rather ask for what I actually want and be told no, then decide what to do. YMMV of course. (19 years ago, 18-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)
