摘要： A toy monorail set is provided including a building for containing the parts to the set and selectively being a component part of the set. The monorail vehicle, building and monorail tracks are all made of sanded hardwood or other suitable smooth and hard material. The vehicle itself includes a cutout and a pair of extension members extending outward from the bottom of the cutout. The cutout has concave sides and the extension members have a flat surface and slanted sides from the back of the cutout to the flat surface so as to allow the vehicle to traverse a curved monorail track course. A smoothing additive, such as wax or paraffin is applied over the flat surface of the extension member and the top, or riding, surface of the monorail track to allow the vehicle to slide over the monorail track. The monorail tracks have semicircular ends with a circular recessed surface on opposite sides at each end. A compressive coupling pad is affixed on each recessed surface so that the monorail tracks may be coupled together. The containing building also includes a fixed monorail track and a plurality of openings to allow the building to be used as a part of the monorail track configuration. Further, the containing building has sliding panels which allow the parts of the set to be stored within the building when the set is not in use.
