| | Dear Brendan,
If you search for Louis Bennan’s Monorail Car on the net you should get enough information to build a good working model.
Hope this is what you meant by gyro car.
Will do this myself sometime in the future.
Beware though some of the descriptions or drawings I have seen which relate to Brennan’s system are wrong.

| | Robert Graham who was an executor for Louis Brennan deposited Brennan's prototype for his monorail car with the Science Museum in London. I wrote my PhD thesis on Brennan's work and obtained a few of his patents and other material for his monorail. If this reply is not to late my thesis may be of use. I lodged a copy with the Science Museum's Library and two in Kent at Gillingham UK in 2000. I live in Melbourne Australia.
sincerely Michael Kitson
