That looks like the Listowel and Ballybunion, opened in 1888 in Ireland. Monorails have been the railroads of the future for a very long time…
I’ll have to check with my friend Charlie…he lives in Ireland. Would be great to get some more pics of it.
Thanks!

You’ll find this monorail too, it’s a gyroscope train
It stays up on only 1 set of wheels behind eachother…[:O]
Thanks for the link!!! The gyroscope train is crazy!

The Electric Steam engine is really ingenious…I think I might try to build a model of that one.
