Hi,

Yes! An electric single wheel monorail running on standard track work.

Video.

A visitor to the Cardiff MES Rally brought it to run on our GR.

Photographs and Videos of CMES Steam Rally 2011 can be seen at;

Fascinating stuff, presumably it must be perfectly balanced

That looks like realy great fun but how does it work?

I presume it has one drive motor and then a motor which is constantly spinning a fly wheel to give it gyroscopic ballence.

That's clever & it means the owner could run on right or wrong gauge track

Really cool and very economical too- just think you could have one peice of track and have an up main and a down main on the same peice of track!!!!!

Thats providing the trains are not over half the track wide.
