How about monorail polka dot? Or perhaps Disney could start doing them up like race cars with corporate sponsors. :D: Monorail Golden Arches anyone?

My choice for Train 12 would be Monorail Royal, using a nice medium royal blue. (They could call it "Monorail Navy", but that just sounds odd saying it out-loud)

Monorail Blue is already more of a sky blue, so apart from unknowing Guests calling it "Blue" rather than "Royal" (which happens with Pink/Coral and Green/Lime), I think it'd work.

Plus, I'd think for the CMs in rails you'd want a maximum of a two-sylable name... (Though with "Monorail Magenta" you could start making Rocky Horror jokes...) ;)

I don't see why there is not a monorail white.

There is no color stripe in the picture. The color that was under the stripe is the color that the train should be...shows how faded the paint job is. Plus if that were the actual stripe, it would have the black outline around it.

I don't know if it will or not, I'm just guessing that it will to distinguish it from Blue.

If the only thing damaged beyond repair were the cabs then why not just take the cab from pink and put on purple (or vice versa) and make a teal 6 car train? Then since they still need to order 2 cabs do so and add to the 12th train.
That's essentially what they did. A WDW Monorail is made up of 6 cars, and with the two cab/cars out of service, you have 4 of the "in between" cars in the shop somewhere. So like you said they would need the 2 cabs. 4+2=6=Monorail.

White monorail-generic monorail

Plaid monorail-when the pilot pulls into the station he is wearing kilts and playing the bagpipes.

Steve Jobs could convince Apple to sponsor a monorail--each car could be a giant iPod. :D:

Somehow I could see monorail Coke as well, done up in red and white with a big wavy stripe down the side.

Actually, I'd better be careful--someone from the department that deals with corporate sponsorships could be reading this! :eek:
