| Hi everyone,
I recently put together the 6991 Monorail transport base after purchasing it
in an unsorted bulk lot.
I followed the Bricklink inventory to gather all the parts, but I noticed when
building, there were some extra pieces that I did not use.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this set and can confirm the inventory accuracy.
The Bricklink inventory says that the set includes 3x 3069bpb0017, but I only
used two and saw for the alternate track diagrams the use of two on the track
switches, not three.
[P=3069bpb0017,11]
4x 4275b, but only two were used
And finally two 4504, but this part were not used in any of the building steps.
Did I miss something putting it together? The older instructions don't typically
have parts required per step laid out, so it's possible.
Maybe there were alternate versions of the set, I'm not sure as I did not
acquire this new or with a box, just the instructions.
Many thanks!

From the additional notes at the bottom of the set inventory:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6991-1
"The two blue 4504 Hinge Plate 1 x 6 with 2 and 3 Fingers On Ends and two of
the four blue 4275b Hinge Plate 1 x 2 with 3 Fingers - Hollow Studs were included
in this set for alternate builds shown on the box."
Cheers,
Randy

Yes the track has gotten quite expensive. I briefly thought about buying some
extra to expand, but quickly changed my mind!

| Got lucky putting together 4 x 6990 but struggled for some time with 6991 until
late 2020 when I found about 2/3rds of the set including base, train pieces and
supports.
Missed out on most of the track but found some, I already had the motor, couplings
and cover from an earlier purchase from eBay, at a good price.

| Congrats to that one - I saw the parts of one recently in a bulk lot for sale
online, but I wasn't fast enough...

| Congrats on the find. I have 4 or so of this set, and at least three were found
in cheap bulk lots, on ebay. Blows my mind, good to see I'm not alone, I
just thought I was lucky
Also found one in the box with instructions, complete, at a goodwill store in
seattle for $100 shipped. The parts look so new I couldn't bear to build
it. Its in storage lol
