March 6, 201113 yr Good job there on modding those sets, although I must admit that due to its form and especially height, I feel that the 8404 tram does look best as a tram and doesn't really fit my idea of a monorail train... 4558 makes a great monorail train though - just like 4560 or even 4559 would! It's always fun to mix things up a bit - that reminds me of CopMike's Monorail Emerald Night: Pity you can't run all three trains simultaneously - that would have been a fun sight :)
March 6, 201113 yr Agreed! The problem is that the 8404 tram is too tall to match this classic set. The Metroliner is a Great one too! *Fuzzy*
March 7, 201113 yr I think the tram looks pretty cool, also now that is has a functional purpose. Great job with the tram!
March 7, 201113 yr Author @MetroiD : Yes i can run all three trains simltaneously but i don't see the result... @Fuzzylegobricks : I agree with you, you can see in the video that i raise up the platform ! The object of this modification was that i can run the tram on monorail track. I've already see modification with 9v on train track and i would to do an other thing ! Thanks.

Sorry for my poor english! Always nice to see a monorail in action. Can I ask in your video at the 28 second point, there is a section of track showing, (The normal railway lines not the monorail.) which is a crossover but it is at a shallow angle that I have not seen before. Do you have any part number or reference for this part or indeed any close up photos of it please?

September 20, 201113 yr Author I think what you see there is normal train track crossing at different levels. On the floor it's 9V track, in height it's RC track.
September 20, 201113 yr On the floor it's 9V track, in height it's RC track. Oh I see. I did not realise that they were at different heights. I thought you had a new cross over rail there and wondered where it had come from. Thanks anyway.

July 29, 201212 yr Does the 8404 contain and rare lego parts? I'm tossing up between buying this tram and turn it into a monorail, purchase the parts from bricklink and build it it :/
