Found this on another forum. I think it's the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

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!

A lot more of funny and technically challenging locomotives can be found here:

You'll find this monorail too, it's a gyroscope train

It stays up on only 1 set of wheels behind eachother..Shock [:O]

Daan. I'm Dutch, but only by country...

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