Yes! My two hobbies are always at war! Its never a healthy mixture of both. If I'm paying attention to one hobby, I can't help but completely forget about the other one. Fortunately, I always come back to the other hobby.

There aren't any restrictions for a maximum track spacing or curve radius. There is however a minimum restriction for track spacing, and for curve radius depending on the monorail design used. For track spacing, a minimum restriction of 8 studs is sufficient. This will leave at the most two studs between the two passing monorails. However depending on the design of the monorail(s), this spacing distance may be insufficient on curves. If you don't plan on testing before the LUG, or if other LUG members plan on using your track to display their own monorails, increasing the track spacing from 8 to 10 studs should resolve any problems that may arise during the show, before they happen. As for minimum curve radius(es), like stated previously, it depends on the monorail design. For the Masao Hidaka monorail design, I recommend a minimum curve radius of 31 track links per 90°. (Fun fact: 31 monorail track links correlates perfectly with Lego's official train track radius! ) As for my own monorail design, (this one) it can take curves half the length Masao Hidaka's design can. 15 track links per 90° to be exact. So depending on which monorail(s) you design, will depend on how small your track radius(es) can be. If you wanted you could have an inner track circle with a radius of 15 links per 90°, and an outer track circle with a radius of 31 links per 90°. Hope this helps. Regards LMF

Check out the coupler design on this CRS monorail. You can jump to the 1:30 minute mark, or enjoy the whole video if you haven't seen it before. Cheers LMF

Three more players? Almost there!

Well after reading up on what The Resistance is, I can say personally that it sounds slightly different, but none the less intriguing! So if we don't fill in the remaining slots anytime soon, I'll still be onboard.

Bicycling is my second favorite hobby. And depending on the season, it's my first. So I was wondering if anyone here on Eurobricks is a bicycle enthusiast/fanatic as well. Cheers LMF

Bikes. Some say its a toy, others say its a tool. I say both.

I've just come to the realization that I have no Lego pet peeves.

I've posted a status update in hopes of bringing some attention to the game.

Woah! That is slick! I love the design on the front, and orange just works for this train. Thumbs up! Also, I really like how you use brick built train track in your renders. It's very realistic.

(1) Yes. (Very funny @mediumsnowman! ) (2) I'll try my best. (3) A werewolf. (That was a tough decision! ) I also agree with the others above. Let's make the new guys first! I'll gladly sit as a reserve if needed.

Wow! This is absolutely awesome! I love the opening doors. I think this deserves a spot on the front page! Thumbs up.

Very cool, clean design! Thumbs up. BTW, it looks like your video didn't imbed fully. Is this it?

Nope.

Very cool! I like this design a lot! And yes, the picture with flash looks better, but I think you you'll get the best results when taking pictures in a bright room which has plenty of natural light. Cheers

BTW, how many hear still use Brickshelf? Also, how many hear regularly browse Brickshelf? I for one rarely browse Brickshelf, and out of curiosity decided to simply put "monorail" in the search engine. I ended up finding a couple of CRS that I'd never seen before, and I thought I'd share them. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=105581 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=104230 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8216 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=203663 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=23858 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=99142 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=276421 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=66034 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=532583 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=457807 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=429610 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=424683 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560144 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=410706 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=409466 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=416298 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=447614 Hope you enjoy looking thru these as much as I did! Cheers LMF

Hey @Paperinik77pk! Very cool! I also have some old blue train track (very fragile) so if you come across any road blocks, I can join in and help out.

I guess I could replace the red 1x1 plate with a red 1x1 plate with ring to give the appearance of a headrest. That might look cool!

Thanks! The windshield stays pretty snug. As for the back, not much room for extra detail. And besides, it looks cleaner this way.

Definitely!

MONORAAAAAAAAAIL!!!!!!

Well you could also make one of these.

Hopefully I'll be available by then.
