Lightmoor Press 2016   £25

This volume follows on from Monorails of the 19th Century, covering the history of monorails from 1900 to just after the Second World War, including the gyroscopic monorails by Brennan, Scherl and Schilovsky, and the Bennie Railplane. Monorails built outside the UK, in particular in the USA, are also covered including the monorail built and operated in the Death Valley desert during the 1920s. Appendices update the earlier volume with further discoveries and with developments on the Schwebebahn in Germany and the reborn Listowel and Ballybunion Railway in Ireland.
