[MOC] New airport shuttle monorail

[SollX]

I as a kid always wanted a lego monorail. but i never got one :( 
not the space-monorails or my absolute number one, the airport shuttle.

and i was sad for a very long time :( 

 

But then, a couple of months ago i got hold of a complete track, motor and cars. i finally got my monorail!
Now i only needed to build the train it self. 
if i was to build the airportshuttle i needed to bricklink the red battery box and the motor cover. but i could also build a creation of my own

searching for inspiration i stumbled upon this amazing Maglev recreation by Ratz  (more info: http://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=38362 )

 

 

I recreated it in LDD, and i thought... what if i make a red one? I could make a new version of the airportshuttle!

so i modded this design to work on elevations and so it would look more like the airport shuttle. Got my bricklink on and this is what i came up with:

 

 

let me know what you think

very nice, I almost like the setup more than the monorail on it's own. life in the city feel to it. The train is nice and sleek and looks like it belongs with those modulars.

Very nice indeed! Fits well in any city! Thumbs up!

Thanks. To bad i can only have a small setup for now (girlfriend is not totally on board haha)

for now it is just one shelf. I need to go bigger so i can add my vehicles

Excellent model and color choice.  I think it's awesome how you elevated it in your city as well instead of leaving it flat on the table.

This looks cool! I'd prefer a little bit more distance between the buildings and the tracks but I assume this to be a space issue with your layout.

Yes it is. tough i would maybe only just move it 2 or 3 studs further if i had the room. so that i would be on de side of a roadplate

Very nice. It has that Italian ETR 485 train feel to it.
