I almost forgot I had these pictures, here is one of the final working Mark IV monorails that Disney sold to the Las Vegas Monorail Company who used them until their new monorails were ready:

Those are some great pictures, thanks for sharing, kind of depressing to see it sitting in that area, I mean better than being scrap metal., However I was glad that Disneydebbie or whatever her name was didnt get it on the ebay auction, Nothing against her ,but well they said if it didnt sell then they would put it in there building , and well they are in Orlando so if they do that then I would get to see it if they allow visitors

Actually it's currently located in Georgia. South of Atlanta. I'm not sure if he is intending to move it to florida anytime soon but I don't think he is.Icekid84 said:Those are some great pictures, thanks for sharing, kind of depressing to see it sitting in that area, I mean better than being scrap metal., However I was glad that Disneydebbie or whatever her name was didnt get it on the ebay auction, Nothing against her ,but well they said if it didnt sell then they would put it in there building , and well they are in Orlando so if they do that then I would get to see it if they allow visitors

Thanks fot the pics. I had alot of great memories in Red. Especially driving on Epcot beam it was quite fast for a 6 car train. The speedometer was such that when you went over 40 it would blink and went you hit over 45 it would go blank. We used to beat buses on the north south road.

Great pictures all. Scott I really like the fleet photo of the original 10 you have at the bottom of your page.

But being the good monorail driver you were, you would never ever ever go above 45 right?

I went to a barn back near town hall. If you call mousesurplus and ask about the owner of the monorail they will give you his number.WEDROD said:

Yeah, It was in Tyrone off of Castlewood road. I live in Sharpsburg, right next door to Tyrone and have been there before. Those pictures are not from Coaster are not from Tyrone. The entertainment complex that mousesurplus mentioned was just a nice barn where social functions where held.
I think so. When you pass the place you see a train caboose and back behind this barn was the monorail. To answer anyone elses question. It was not at this guys house but had moved.
