Sorry bru,but I doubt it would make sence money wise to get a NEW train. They use parts from wrecked cars and planes all the time.

I like the idea of Monorail Bronze ... then again, I also like the idea of Monorail Plaid ... (would Monorail Plaid match the pattern of the GR Plaid ?)

This is what I made of it...

I don't think they will use any cars that were wrecked. Just because they used the cars that they did to construct Monorail Teal, doesn't mean that they were the only functioning cars. Really it was the last cab/car of Pink and the first cab/car of Purple that may be damaged beyond repair.

So they made Monorail Teal with a set of four "in between" cars and the two good car/cabs. So basically they have what they need to assemble "Train 12" with the exception of the first cab/car and the last cab/car. I would imagine they would just replace these two cab/cars all together instead of repairing them.

So if that's the case, they won't use anything that was damaged. I think that "Train 12" will consist of both new and undamaged parts.

((Hugs)) Bru.

Personally, I love that they are joining purple and pink into a new color.

While I can easily see where drivers might have a hard time with teal at first, combining the 2 trains seems right and fitting - respect and moving forward at the same time.

I hope that she seen as an honor to drive and priviledge to ride in.

Looks really neat. Closer look, it looks like the white is a vinyl. Perhaps it's already painted and they're waiting to unveil? Or perhaps 11 hasn't been and that's why it's covered.

Why would it have a delta?

Why only 4 "in between" cars??? Don't make any sense.

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 was what I was thinking.
