I visit the site every month and wonder if you've considered rebuilding what was destroyed of this route?

[steamysteam]

Yes, I've considered it -- and am still considering it. No decision yet. In any event, it won't be soon. Thanks for your interest, though.

Recently saw a documentary on monorails. Started searching the 'net. Found one thing, led me to something else, led me to this.

Glad I watched that documentary. This is very cool, and somebody in Hollywood should be paying you to use (their static set + CGI version of) this in a future movie.

I sure would, if'n I was a movie mogul (which'n I'm not).

A more elegantly absurd engine I have never seen, not outside of Rowland Emmet's work, anyway.

Superb.
