Ceiling Monorail

5 Replies, 5985 Views

I have dreamt about doing this exact same thing for a couple of years....

Looks like he may have created some 1/2 curves in white, maybe 3D Printed? The Monorail seems to be a bit more faster so I am curious if he upgraded the motor and which one he used as other upgraded Monorail motors I have seen were way too fast. I am also curious about thos hanging clips he used and whether they are made or bought.

the hanging clips may be 3D printed along with the white tracks like you said. Looks like the person mounted the clips on the fake ceiling which relatively easier than dry walls.

Those clips may be some form of standard light fitting, maybe for light tubes or something, difficult to tell.

I notice there is a wire between the two carriages of the monorail, is this normal or has he maybe fitted uprated batteries to get the better speed? The motors in generic Tomy trains should be ok for up to 6v I think so that may explain the speed increase.

As for the white tracks, quite likely 3D printed. It wouldn't surprise me.
