The Monorail-system is a special type of 9V powered transport shuttle running on special rails with just one lane.
Description[]
The train is propelled by a special motor module with gear drive in the center section between two end cars - while one car transports the 9V battery box. It was controlled by a dial switch on a special rail of each station - with possibility to start/stop or change direction.
The special about the rails - beside the gear tracked lane - was the driving on different height levels.
However, to date there have been only three main monorail sets released, between 1987 and 1994. They appeared in different Space-Themes like Futuron and Unitron as well as in the Town theme.
