    Yes new bodies will be traveling to Canada from Juarez, Mexico, to be bolted onto the refurbished undercarriage sections of the monorail. I am thinking it might be a few months before we see the new bodies come out from underneath the tarps. I walked down Harbor Blvd last night and stood on top of the over pass. Red and Purple are in the monorail roundhouse now, visually confirmed last night by peering through the freeway side windows.

    no picture 14 and 15 are the old bodies. but in picture 15 that blue tarp on the far right, i believe that to be a new body. there are two of them there in front of the second old nose cone. i will get more pictures next weekend with new fresh batteries in my camara.

    Any thought of just walking up to someone in the yard and telling them that you are interested in the monorail project and asking what they are doing? Most people love to talk about their work and what they are doing. I'll bet you would get an earful about what they are doing when and might even get a tour being shown all the new and old parts.

    well you guys are in luck i got some new photo's today. i was hoping to get pictures of them covered in snow but no luck, as it didn't snow out there as it did at my house. but you are in for a treat it is hard to see in the picture because of the blue tarp but monorail orange has made an apperance up here aswell. so either mono blue is going back as orange or mono orange will be going back to dl. now you will just need to wait for darkbeer to post up my new pic's

    The camera phone photo I obtained last year, does show 3 monorails to be rebuilt:
    red, purple and orange, no monorail blue, I am hoping WDI changed it's mind and will try to rebuild all four monorails.
    Here is the camera phone photo of the WDI project meeting:

    the one up here must be a old orange then color sceam is different then in your pic. but if you look at pic #2 of mine it is clearly an orange stripe.

    I can say with certainty, that the monorail under the tarp is in fact the old monorail orange that has been sitting in North Hollywood.
    Check out these old Mouse Planet Photos:

    The color scheme of the old monorail orange matches exactly the colors under the tarp. In the other photos you had, the new monorail parts were wrapped in white shrink wrap. Well its exciting to see that both monorail blue and orange are up in Canada now.
