What this game table needs...
« on: 12 June 2020, 10:11:27 »
...is a certified, bonafide, electrified 5 car MONORAIL!

This is the brand new magrail from Brigade Models. I bought the starter set with the passenger train, plus the elevated track and transition pieces. I have more track than I could fit in the photos.






Grand Titan realizes he is only here for scale reference, but he really wants to go full Godzilla right about now.

I considered flocking the track pieces and doing some fancy stuff with the train windows, but I decided to leave it fairly generic so it fits with pretty much any terrain setup. I know many of you will want to know, "Is there a chance the track could bend?" and to that I'll say, "Not on your life, my Hindu friend."

That is a very good paintjob! What if that thing actually moved on the tabletop...

I do believe that this needs to be brought up about monorails.
