Redesigned Tokyo Disney Resort Monorail Set

I wasn't aware of the new design. It sure looks like they have addressed the sloppy wobbling that has plagued all the over rail Plarail Monorails up until the most recent release (couple years ago) Limited Edition Tokyo Type 10000 monorail released only at the Plarail Expo that year. As with the Tokyo 10000 this new Disney Monorail has considerably less wobble but it comes with a price. I guess to counteract some of the wobble they beefed up the size of the couplers where they can no longer work on the sloped track for the Monorails. Of course this means nothing to most as the slopes are very hard to come by and when you do see them they are very expensive. I had held out hope that they would once again produce the slopes but with these new over rail releases they probably won't The beefed up couplers prevent any flex so when the Monorail comes to the bend the drive wheel lifts off the top of the rail. Certainly not a deal breaker as the smooth runner looks great. Hmmm...wonder if some parts could be swapped out with my Disney Anniversary Editions to take the wobble out of those? I will have to keep an eye out for a used one of this newer release to test that out.

Thanks for sharing. Is that your Layout Hy?
