I seem to recall that somebody built a replica of the "A" Frame monorail steam locomotive. I know I remember a live steam version, but I think I recall somebody built a full scale or close to it, version as well?

Of course since it uses the A Frame system, maybe they're not considering it to be a monorail?

Found it... Turns out I was right (and wrong...) ;)

Full size replica (Right!) steam outline but diesel powered (wrong!)

Does this count as a monorail?

Yes (Sadly. That thing looks like a death trap!)
