The Train......

  1. looks as though it was quite an innovation. Any clues as to which country it was taken in? I suppose the propeller could be just off the photo.

  2. No idea where it was, l think my dad took it, he could have been anywhere. One was mentioned being in Scotland, also Germany.

  3. Looked at it with Tony, we think it is a monorail, you can just see steps up on the right and it is attached at the top to a rail with what looks like the returning rail in front. Maybe it was a prototype, maybe not even in this country. Have a look for monorails in the forties on google. I'll have another look tomorrow.

  4. Thanks Ann/Tony

    Dad could well have been in Scotland, he was often there.
    Yes this must it.
    You saw Dizzi's link on gr, it must be the same or simular.

    Cheers
