*contract awarded and/or under construction Notes: While some may point out that this chart proves a lack of standards, the chart does demonstrate that systems available for sale today (**) are very similar in dimensions. In fact, the maximum width difference between largest and smallest beam is only .19M (7.5"). With only .095M (3-3/4") difference per side, manufacturers should be able to modify their trains to fit different beams. Dimensions compiled and scaled graphics by The Monorail Society |
