    <a href="http://www.monorails.org/tMspages/NMT01.html">This guy built his VERY OWN MONORAIL</a>.

    This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

    I'd say this vessel could do at least Warp Five.

    Monorail is soooo cool!!! Can we give this guy a job at Metro?

    Honestly...my thought on rail is if you're gonna do it, do it right. It's infrastructure that will last for many, many years. Don't mess around with light rail which runs at street level and interferes with traffic.. if you're gonna spend hundreds of millions and eventually billions of dollars, do it right...elevate it and make it monorail..runs on magnet technology...how cool is that?? Talk about making something that would be a signature piece for your town!!

    But I'd want them to look EXACTLY like they do in DisneyWorld!! Mickey Mouse symbol and all!! :)

    A homemade monorail surely can't be safe. Reminds me of my attempts at a homemade guitar.

    This guy would never make a monorail for us. It's really more of a Shelbyville idea.

    Incidentally, he built a monorail in Fremont, and it put them on the map.

    now that's funny!


    That dude sunk 4 grand into a monorail that he probably doesn't even ride once a week. Weak.

    interesting link though!
