Has anyone ever heard of or seen any model monorail trains? The only one I have seen is the one from Disney. http://www.mouseplanet.com/al/docs/monorail.htm Although it is not bad...I was hoping for something more.

I have seen them in O and HO.
I can't remember where.
I know the O was in Classic Train Magazine.
Did you do a Google or some kind of search?
Edit...........,
I know they aren't cheap.

Man I spent the better half of last month looking online for them. Either I am blind or suck at searching, cause all I found was the disney one.

Nope you are not I went and did a search and only found the Disney one too.
I do remember somewhere seeing one that was made in Germany I believe.
I will keep a look out for them and save the link if I come across them again.
Your thinking HO scale right?
I know I saw one in O too.

Says he will reduce shipping if you live in the North East.
And make an offer just keep upping it if he doesn't accept.

I have decided for a different approach. Instead of a monorail, I will run a light rail from Kato around the upper part of the wall:

I think this will be just as good. My wife thinks these are cute, so that adds bonus points towards me getting one LOL

The King has more power then the Queen!
Down in the dungeon that is.:laugh:
I'm to hard on her......she actually bought me some train related items.
She don't really care.
Except for the $$$ I put out.
You did notice these were N scale?
I would suggest you dont run it to high on the wall, you'll never see it when sitting down,lol

LOL Big Ed I understand where you are coming from.
Yeah I know they are N scale. I have little choice on the height in the room since there are 3 doors and 2 windows. It will need to go above. But the room is small and I can keep the trains to the outside of the shelf.
