XG BC Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 nice! checked it out, always awesome how you fit so much in that space while not looking cluttered. Quote
DisMonorail23 Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I am still new to building Lego monorails and have skimmed through the past posts and didn't see any instructions for the 3 direction switch. Has anyone made instructions for a three-direction switch? I have attempted and failed numerous times. If someone could make instructions it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote

Expand I think there is still room for improvement regarding the 3 direction switch, but I have received some questions about it so I think it might be time to create assembly instructions.

Your videos convinced me to make a monorail this week based on your 3 car design. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uqbhseeAFqYBAbVPA Appreciate the awesome chain drive design. I flipped the motor mount to fit in my chassis. Here are instructions for the battery car: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11wOBWBtkJXlWJzdTy_jaHYyYpndeXlqi Edited August 12, 2024 by BrianGT Add picture Quote

This is the closest to true monorail I have seen so far. The system you have built is amazing. Quote
XG BC Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 hi, today i have built a monorail beam replacement style Y switch. of course very much a prototype, it works, and is small enough to not look weird with my 4-wide monorail. take a look: the transition between moveable switch and fixed rail was kinda tricky to get right to allow the pieces to slide past each other, but i got it to work after several tries with different slope pieces. the whole thing in the middle slides to connect either the right hand side or the left hand side to the curve here is a render that looks less colorful and cobbled together, stud.io file is in the link in my signature as always.

XG BC Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 after having thinkered around with the switch a bit more today, i realized that turning the single connecting track around resulted in tighter Clearances so i did that (irl its brick on brick contact, in Studio its hard to align it perfectly) i also improved another switch: the one in my Monorail to switch directions. it used a very fragile mess of multiple contacts, i have reduced the contacts to just the one layer again. it now uses two bc639 transistors to emulate the other layer electronically video: https://flic.kr/p/2qzWmdf schematic: Quote
