Monorail Modeling -
Crouse House Monorail System
photos by Robert Crouse
Robert Crouse really likes the Walt
Disney World monorail toys. Many of us do. Some of us put
them up around the Christmas tree, others just run them around
their floors in various configurations. Robert has taken his toys
to new heights though, and he kindly has shared photos of his
multiple-room Mark VI monorail in Dallas, Georgia!
Here's Robert's layout. Looks like a lot of track to acquire and
install!
The monorail not only circles the room, but it also features several
accessory toys, such as this Contemporary Hotel. Note the custom
lighting.
Here's a good look at the various ways the Crouse House Monorail
is suspended from the ceiling and supported from the wall.
What, a monorail tunnel? Yes, holes were cut through walls to
get his trains from one room to another.
Here's a neat shot of two trains passing at the room-to-room tunnel.
Notice any hidden Mickeys?
Nice work Robert Crouse! I'm sure your hard work will inspire
others to lay some track of their own!
