    This is the most legit, original alternative to a monorail that I've ever seen! Wow!

      There’s another video featuring this that shows the propulsion/drive system. Each car has 2 oversized rubber tires that give it its smooth ride over the tiles
      I’d love to see more on how he built it. I’m not really interested in the next-level aspects like the track switches or the train swap feature, but just the smooth and seemingly very quiet monorail would be loads of fun to set up

  • @JBBrickFanatic

    I was expecting more detailed inspection of the techniques used for the standard bricks to form the circular shapes of the monorail. It's basically what the title says and should have been the focus of the video.

    Watching this video was nothing but frustration. All I wanted to know was how did he build the turns and elevation changes of the guideway. If you're going to interview someone with a slick trick like that, please ask them how did they build it. The only reason I watched this video is I wanted to know how to get the and result of curved guideways for a logo monorail.
