Title: Steam Monorail Post by: grahame on May 20, 2017, 16:49:19 from News North Wales (http://www.newsnorthwales.co.uk/news/171135/volunteers-wanted-to-get-monorail-back-on-track.aspx) (earlier this year but I missed it!_
Quote Volunteers are needed for an exciting project to rebuild what is reputed to be the world’s only steam-powered monorail. The Nant Mawr Visitor Centre and Tanat Valley Light Railway is now home to the one-of-a-kind Monoloco engine and there are big plans to get it back on track. The owner, Richard Morris, has loaned the collection to the visitor centre with a view to it becoming a permanent home. Visitor centre trustee and rail enthusiast Mark Hignett is now hoping to have a section of the 20-year-old monorail up and running by Easter.
