There are some really whacky ones on there... a diesel Shay anyone? - but this contraption really takes the biscuit!

The photo file is labelled as Patiala State Monorail System and intrigued me so much that I went googling again and found a video of it moving!

Patiala is between Lahore and Delhi, BTW

I found this site a long while ago and it is still there.

There is always someone who thinks he can build a better mousetrap, but most of the examples on the site above fall into the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' category.

Australians have a term 'bush engineering', which often involves the use of fencing wire and baling twine. Probably the best railway examples being Kiwi timber tram locos.
