The Flying Train, Germany 1902 - restored footage....

[bavarian blue]

Was there about 15 years ago, certainly a unique transport system.

I loved the Peter Jackson ~World War One film - "They Shall Not Grow old" and after watching it was left with the impression that CGI- boosted old footage could be a real thing in future. Imagine coupling it with VR, too. You could sit in Wembley and watch the 1966 World Cup Final from the stands.

Spot on. That was one of the best things I've ever seen, stunningly detailed as well as haunting.

Makes you wonder what we might do one day with all that grainy football film from a lot more recently that's virtually unwatchable on You Tube.

I first learned of its existence here where you also get some good history

Fantastic engineering.......could be the future.

Not really - there are specific circumstances why it exists - terrain, availability of construction materials etc.

Just like North Haverbrook.

I'll be checking that channel out.

there's nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide Electrified, six-car monorail but I hear those things are awfully loud

Remind me again when is HS2 due and at what cost?
