I must go and visit, I thought they'd scrapped it in the mid 90s, great news! Thanks.

The BR developed LIM 'hovercar' still exists too, together with some monster track sections, at the Science Museum out-stattion at Wroughton. Sadly they never seem to open the place any more, even on their published 'Viewing Days, as Mrs PR19 and I went last year to find the gates locked and barred!

The BR thingie was developed into the original people-mover at Birmingham Int. Airport, but it used LIMs as hover-pads as well as traction devices. I hate to think how much their electricity bill cost!
