That is so awesome. I swear the monorail was one of our favorite "rides" at Disney!!!

Very nice! Love the mood of the scene and how much it really takes me to WDW!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you all for the kind words!

Not only does it run better than the real one, I'll bet it also doesn't smell like horses.

Great job!

Hey! My horses don't smell as bad as the inside of those things!

I'm sorry, I had no intention to insult your horse! I should've said the monorail model probably doesn't smell like the inside of a dirty stable.

This is my monorail playset. I've been working on it for months and its also taken that time to collect the majority of the discontinued pieces.
I have electrified the tracks, modified the trains to pick up the power from the undercarriage and added better quality motors. They are now run by standard model train power controllers. I also added a more realistic headlight and widened the Contemporary entrance to fit two tracks like it should. Enjoy!

Are you running on AC or DC for the track and using O Gauge or HO gauge motors?

Looks incredible!! I have soooo much custom track that this would be a fun project for my son and I.

Uber cool! You give my DS hope (at age 21, lol) He has a start~Polynesian, Contemporary, Train Depot and Castle, fair amount of track~but it pales greatly compared to yours! Love the MONORAIL sign, ALL the signage! We don't have Spaceship Earth , literally dropped the ball, lol, or The Grand Floridian Anxious to see your post on how you did it all, it is really, REALLY impressive!

OP I guess I missed your original post, but you are to be congratulated. What an outstanding job! This should be on exhibit at CTR, the kids would absolutely love it. I love the monorail, and this video really made me smile.

It's DC. Basic model train power packs. There is conductive tape along both sides of the track and the motors are just upgraded RC motors. They work fine as long as you don't put the DC pack to full power lol.
