But here I get a funky picture instead of a quite amazing monorail spiral.
Did you have any problems with the monorails accelerating really quickly
down the hill and shooting off the side or anything? How many monorail
trains did you have? It appears that every time I look at a picture with a
monorail in it there's a different one gliding past.

The monorail stanchions look really impressive in that photo. I also envy
whoever possesses that many supports in the first place :)

This little mech (if that's the correct term) reminds me a lot of the mech
featured in the end movie if you completed Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn.
It's pretty cool, and it also looks kinda comically cartoony too. Is it
actually made from Lego bits, or something else? I certainly don't
recognise any Lego components in there.
The buildings around the layout are very nice too. Such a variety of
architectural styles. Did one person build all the tall buildings, or was
it a joint project? I've had to stop myself posting a link to every
building and commenting on how great they are :)
Thanks for posting the pictures,

Cross-Posted to lugnet.town so that Townies like myself can drool over the
buildings and draw inspiration from them.
