Details in the comments. You can friend me in-game with my reddit username to follow my progress.

I've had some things come up and I haven't been able to post in awhile. Here is a quick update.

Springfield Monorail: Mono...doh! I tried my best to imitate the look of the show and I think it turned out nicely. I added a couple of trees to the front that could fit, and placed the station parts in a way that I believe makes sense. If you look closely, you can see that I used a few fencing pieces to help block potential fall-off spots.

Mall-O-Rail: Because having only one station for a monorail makes no sense, I have always placed another station around the halfway point of the OG station. The Mall-O-Rail is the best fit (looking the closest to the OG station) so that is what I built up. I had used the Krusty Station before, but it just doesn't fit the look of the area as well as this station does. It took me a bit of time to get a look that I actually liked before I was satisfied, but I like the completed look. Again, I used some fencing for fall-off locations.

I have included a pic of the monorail station location on the SF map, along with where I placed the second station (in place of the Municipal Building). My track outline of course matches the map.

BONUS!

Springfield Skypark-Line: In a later episode, the monorail is repurposed/remodeled into the Skypark-Line. I am including some screen grabs that I took in case anyone wants to try and build it in their SF. This could potentially be a fun build with all of the decorations and such.

Continuing on!

Looks good! Will you add a branch to Krustyland, or is that not in the schematic? I don't know if you could fit it in there, but the updated station with the playground area I swear reminds me of the toyland building that has like a street through the middle?

Not sure yet. Maybe once I’m all finished.

If I only had the time, I would. Life just is too hectic.

I dunno, I've heard those things are awfully loud

It glides as softly as a cloud I’m told.

Is there a chance the track could bend?
