The monorail is a LEGO classic with a lot of die-hard fans. Mainly thanks to the Space and Town sets from 1987-1994. I think everyone who was a child back then dreamed of such a train during long sessions of leafing through the LEGO catalog.
This mini project is my another tribute to this series. I once built a full-size train and now in microscale.
M:Tron never had an official monorail set, so I'm making up for it with my own designs :) Another version, this time in minifigure scale and fully motorized, is on the way. But more on that another time.
I should also mention that this mini train was created for the LUGPOL competition. The rules are below.
We invite you to participate in the competition to build a monorail train. Any theme (city, space, etc.). The train does not need to be powered.
Requirements
- Size: max 32x64 studies (2BP 32x32)
- Max 3 carriages
- Any monorail track system; you can use original monorail tracks, roller coaster tracks, or build your own
- Exceptionally, the use of 3D-printed replacements for the original monorail tracks is permitted
- The use of other third-party components is not permitted.
Edit: The results are in and I am third! I'm very happy because the other entries were awesome and full-size train in minifig scale. I was the only one with microscale :)

Awesome idea. Great execution! I really like the station roof and the train itself. Not many bricks but it looks great!

Roof made of panels is so clever

@HaroldLop Thx! It has perfect shape for the station.
