Could you make it go up a incline
Actually I have an idea for the extra degree of freedom. You could use technic part 44 and the 4 stud long universal joint to add the extra degree of freedom needed
Next time,a standard train with a framework(by gear) to avoid being apart in crashes
For the connection between the cars, the universal axle joint could be a good option to allow vertical movement too. But until then, a very good build.
cool, this will be a great mod for the Monkey Kid City of Lanterns set (and any city for people w/o monorail)
Greetings from the suspension railway town Wuppertal. 😁
Awesome! The use of the roller coaster pieces for the track was really cool!
it is probably not the slope itself (too steep) but the cart suspension which should allow the cart to hang straight down without loosing grip of the back wheel
Awesome! This really looks like the "Wuppertaler Schwebebahn" (Wuppertal Suspension Railway).
This is a suspension railway in Wuppertal, Germany.
Its original name was 'Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen' (Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System). It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system in Germany. It was built in 1901 ant it is still in service.
This is so cool!
Such a great design, brings some great height and movement to a city
I really enjoy that you have been doing more narrated videos lately. I just like hearing you talk, and explain your designs.
Fingers crossed I can get to ride the Wuppertal Schwebebahn this year. Having not seen our family for over two years we are looking forward to May ❤️🙂🤞
Very impressed by this one, and you can tell that the rubber band on the drive wheels helps the whole model be way less wobbly. I really like how small this is and I wish LEGO released motor elements that were more like some of these amazing competitors, because I can't imagine it would look quite as in-scale and nice as it does at 8-studs wide. It would be really dynamic to see something like this go up a smaller sloped element.. so if I built something like this maybe I would use mixel joints or something.. but I'm not sure about that particular solution unless you maybe added two between cars because the curves are so sharp I imagine they'd move beyond their effective range and just pop out. Great job and keep on building!
This build turned out really nice!
Keep up the good work!
Awesome train! I really love the design of it! Good job!
I'm waiting impatiently for the instructions. Very cool!
I really love your MOC`s. I build the first train and just felt in love with. But this one looks more cool and interesting. Keep going mate! You are doing a great job!
This is pretty awesome!
Masterful
Unbelievable, super-cool, outrageous and amazing. Furthermore, phenomenal, fantastic and incredible.
Wow wow wow, so cool!
Toll gebaut und schönes Set.
That's amazing
The simple solution for incline travel would be to ditch the steering at the cabin, make the arm rigid to the cabin, then make a (first) pivoting arm that holds a truck with two wheels, this will allow the cabin to pivot at the top, thus have no issues since the truck is the one that's following the incline, not the cabin, which is a mere pendulum, then (second) make a ball socket connection between that truck and the truck of another cabin.
The ball and socket could be either at the top or on the side, but it should (in theory) look like a car's torsion bar (so a C shape). So that this connection doesn't fall under the optimal position, where the ball and socket connect, a piece should extend under said arm and keep it upright (if up) or horizontal (if on sides).
Caveat, as the cabins are now swinging pendulums under these trucks, they need proportional space to swing so they don't collide with one another. So there'd be a gap between that's proportional to the incline, small incline, small gap, large incline, large gap.
No clue how you'd fix that, but one potential method would be to have that C arm that links the trucks is extendable, with a spring that has enough force to pull the cabins together in normal use, but not enough to stop them from displacing one another (thus elongating the train) as the train climbs.
For the driving wheel, you'd need some method to "clamp" unto the rail. So rather than a standing wheel drive, i'd say you'd need a horizontal wheel drive that hugs this rail from both sides of the track, thus providing enough force to climb the rail. That itself raises the issue of how you'd power it... you'd need to do some pretty nifty LEGO wizardry to pass a shaft through the same cabin suspension arm and give it U joints to allow for movement.
This is AMAZING i want one!!
So articulate!
This could genuinely be an actual Lego City, Creator, or Ninjago set. I say Ninjago since Ninjago city has an actual monorail system that looks almost exactly like this and I'd love to see an official set for it, especially if it's a set piece for an awesome Ninja fight!
Bro give this man an award, this is absolutely amazing!
Cool the video i love it
For someone from Wuppertal, this is a dream come true.
Nice 👍
Cool hab ein Abo da gelassen
with more grip, or gears for wheels (on a tooth-brick track), I could see this being used as one of those ski-lift gondola things.
really cool, and this engine solution is also... why lego not does such stuff... unbelievable
Awesome thing, I can see it working as a part of mini Chicago modular city build :)
Lego should buy this idea
This intro music is about 3x more exciting than suspended trains merit, but you do you! haha
Killer! 🍻
OH YEAH!!
Thanks for all the great video's, I like this concept and probably will try to make it for my future city. I don't have any 'technic' lego parts yet, is there a set or site you can recommend to get a starters kit for building different electrified/moving builds?
You can put universal joints o the conections to go up and down
Perhaps you could use ball joints to couple the train. This will allow to move freely in every direction.
Now all you need is a spiderman diorama.
To run a train off of regular train tracks all you need to do would be to get some old 4.5 V error train rails that way you can space it apart to your liking potentially creating a platform in the middle
You definitely have to put this on lego idea.
wtf cool
Hello ! nice job ^^ for the link between cabs, maybe using LEGO® 4629920 and LEGO® 6344752 can be better to have one more liberty degree ?
Do you know if you were to modify it to fit potentially train rails then you can one in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.
honestly I believe that if you put your motor in the first cart it will do better up slopes :)
Cool, this was on my to do list as a new moc, Now i do not have to figure it out myself :D Great video and technique again.
I say this with everything you make but this should be a Lego ideas set
drive power, one at the front one at the back :) ? to tackle them slopes or front middle center?
Great MOC! But... Speaking about a "Real World" versions of it, I approve the idea of adding another degree of movement to the connections between the cabs for the light ramps, but the fact that the cabs are "rolling" side to side could be "uncomfortable" for the passengers, expecially those who suffers of seasickness.
So, adding another set of wheels that runs on the other side of the rail could be helpful to solve the problem?
Still great tho!
Why, I _did_ think "hold on, haven't I seen this before?" - it's like you can read minds! 😅
But honestly: Great design and one more reason for third party additions - especially when it comes to electric components.
Maybe for the connection of the cart you can use lego chain idk
This is like the "wupperthaler Schwebebahn"
Regarding the Red and White. You'd be surprised to look at DB (Deutsche Bahn) trains. Particularly the S-Bahn vehicles.
the newest trains of the wuppertaler schwebebahn can be seen here

a sort of turquoise-light blue.
The 70s livery was orange and blue.
I am building the same thing right now lol
I’ve watched the original video probably 25 times and am so happy to see a design video now.
Over the years I’ve taken long hiatuses from building, but time and time again it’s your videos that bring me back on a build binge
To get over slopes, you could try technic ball joint pins and technic 1x6 steering rod with ball sockets
Happy building

Is your website down. Can't seem to get it to open with google
You could make a roller coaster with the same ish design.
It’s very cool you have a talent in lego I’m not the best though
I wonder if there's some kind of non-lego hardware store item that could be used for a rail if you wanted to build a massive setup that, say, hung from your ceiling without spending a fortune on relatively rare pieces.
If you wanted to go down that route, I'd just look for plastic strips of the right thickness, use a heat gun to form them into shape, and have the monorail ride on the edge of it.
So is the train from "Solo" on ur "to do" list?
Yo but could you mqke it go up an incline?
Make a six wheel drive suspended train
good morning, my name is René and I am a big fan of your lego builds. Now I have a question about the suspended train. you have the building instructions on your site but the part numbers are missing. can you send me an outline so I can build it for my son. Sincerely, René from the Netherlands.
There is a parts list file there as well, which has all the part numbers. I'll be uploading it to rebrickable.com shortly as well.
Pls tell me that you work for Lego as a set designer
It's a shame that to maintain balance, the cars pass the centerline of the track above. I'd love to see two of these going opposite directions using the same track with one on the inside and one on the outside.
It’s a shame it only has an hour of running time, a city themed GBC would be interesting.
好
nice build! but the music choice for the video is too aggressive
Make this a official Lego set
Wuppertaler Schwebebahn dort in echt, hier in Lego
Why don't you call it a monorail?
Because it very much is.
pls learn ur structural integrity, the usage of axle friction to hold the train up will cause all the stress to be on the one 3 stud beam and might cause mechanical failure one day
Isn't this a reupload.....
modified with the white band on the train wheel
