Criss-cross your Monorail layout with new to the world tracks!

When building your awesome Holiday layout, the Monorail is a great enhancement that brings overall movement and visual interest. Our new 3D printed Cross Switch, Diagonal Track and Half Curved Tracks will add to the action and help make the layout more compact.
Now the next best thing is to be able to plan, control or even simulate your layout from your chair - so we are happy to introduce nControl, a planner and automation software for both Monorail and Train tracks which you can download for free from mid November!

Newest Monorail Products

Monorail Cross Switch

Form a compact pattern of intersecting tracks that you can control manually or automate with a servo motor, such as the upcoming 4DBrix Servo Motor.

Diagonal Track

Now you can run your track diagonally and build up a 45 degree angle! The tracks connect perfectly to existing switches, tracks, stanchions and plates.

Short Curve Right / Left

The short curves are essential tracks to connect to the switches and the Diagonal Track extending the flexibility of layouts. They are available in classic light gray.

Coming Soon

If you ever wished for an easy to use - and free! - control center which can handle both your Train and Monorail layouts and allows you to simulate the automation on screen without yet having the actual components, then give nControl a try! Available for free download from mid November. nControl also contains a track planner which automatically gives you an inventory of the segments you used. On top is the track layout, at the bottom are tiles created to control the track.

About Colors

Would you like Monorail tracks in other colors? Let us know! We printed white and black tracks and they look great. The white tracks give a snowy or hi-tech effect, while the black tracks would be perfect for a Blacktron or darth vader theme. We can now print a full range of straight and curved tracks to build your dream layout.

FAQ

How does the quality compare to LEGO®?
Our manufacturing process is different but we strive for the same high quality as LEGO®. You will find that the monorails are actually sturdier thanks to the closed back side. We use top of the range FDM 3D printers and materials and our products are durable and reliable.
