LEGO Set - 6990 - Futuron - Monorail Transport System

LEGO 6990 Monorail Transport System is an iconic set from the Futuron subtheme, released in 1987. It was the first of only three large monorail systems LEGO ever produced and is now considered one of the most valuable collectibles from the classic Space era.
The set features a motorized track system that can handle inclines and declines.
Includes 5 Futuron astronauts (two in blue, three in yellow).
A 9V motor (powered by a 9V battery) drives the train via rack rails in the center of the gray monorail tracks.
The assembled layout measures approx. 137 x 60 x 24 cm; the train itself is about 43 cm long.
Special switch elements along the track allow the train to change direction or stop at stations.
The train has a working flashing light that indicates when the system is powered on.
The lower station has a rotating feature for loading and unloading.
The upper station (built on pillars) uses a crank mechanism to lift cargo pallets.
In addition to the monorail train, the set includes a small space glider and removable supply containers that can be transferred between the train and the stations.
The set is offered as used, but is 100% complete! No pieces are missing; all accessories, the 5 minifigures, and all small parts are included. The included instruction booklet naturally shows some age-related wear, but is complete and easy to read. Unfortunately, the original box is no longer available. The entire track and train will be fully disassembled, sorted by building section as described in the instructions, and shipped safely and well protected in zip bags. It is also worth mentioning that, as with almost all old LEGO sets, several white pieces are slightly yellowed. However, these are standard white pieces that can be replaced easily and inexpensively.
