Dear All

Finished & got around to cutting the MonoRail Station design (it's a bit big).

The Station will consist of 3 platforms, the third platform is mirror of one on left in first picture (no don't get train shown included in the Station pack). Have not installed the third platform so to have more clear pictures.

Also included in pack, will be two Covered Notice boards, 1 ticket office/booth & a bank of covered ticket machines.

For clarity; the lift & ramp that feed the central platform are not shown but are similar to design for other platfrom.

Sizes:
Complete size: 26cm Wide, 63cm Deep, 11cm High.
Platform length – 50cm (2x25cm)
Platform Width – 4cm
Height to platform – 7cm
Height to Roof – 11cm

With its size & amount of cutting time (takes ages) will be selling pack for £50.00 GBP

Due to the easy of design I will probably will do a additional smaller version with just two platforms & a pair of tracks as only have to design the track suspension bars for this.

I'd honestly leave out the center tracks. Most urban light rail stations are either 2 track or 4 track, and the 4 track is for when you have express trains passing the stopped locals at the station.

Wow, that's awesome.

Dear Lion

This station is only two tracks with 3 platforms. Thinking on it could of done it using two sets of double tracks. Might do a 4 track version.

Dear All

After a bit of fiddling with the cutting layout, pretty certain can get the extra pieces to allow station to be done as either:

1) 2 single lines with three platforms
or
2) 2 twin Lines (total of 4 lines, in case people can't add) with the same three platforms. Does make the structure 8cm wider.

Dear All

Have added all the monorail packs to my website:

Excuse the higher prices but they take ages to cut.

For the test cut samples of the Station & Stop (both partially assembled & glued), I willing to sell them off cheap as B-grade.
