A Priceless Collection of National Interest

According to the sellers ad that is.
Well maybe not that important but it is a very interesting set of early 1900’s Monorail train prototypes in O scale. Apparently the inventor planned on running trains balanced on 1 rail by gyroscopes! Neat looking streamliners though and they supposably even run.

MTH is making something like this now

That’s pretty cool! I’ll admit that I’ve never cared for monorails much. Trains are supposed to run on two rails (or three). I have to say that I absolutely love the orange and blue (Lionel’s colours!) streamliner! I’d love to have an O-gauge three-rail version of that train!

I wouldn’t mind having a Monorail system, and plus I saw some that Disneyworld sells, on ebay a long time ago. Those MTH ones sure are nice & with sound, but I think the Disney ones are less expensive. Wonder what sounds they put in the MTH set? Thanks, John
