[edit] Tubular Rail concept

Unverifiable and fails WP:CORP. Also an engineering nightmare, but that shouldn't sway us too much. Anyway, delete. Melchoir 03:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Concept. Article admits no models are currently being tested. Ruby 03:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• If there was even just one press cutting to show that this was a serious contender for a real project then I would change my vote, but until then I'll have to vote delete. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 05:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete nonnotable transport crankery. I mean, that is frikkin. Insane. I wouldn't ride the thing, and I'm glad I never heard of it up till now. Belongs on crank.net, not here. Haikupoet 20:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral - Remember, the concept does have a site at Tubular Rail where one can actually find pictures. So, while it's in no way a near-future solution, or even a possible one, the fact that people have written about it may make it deserve its own article. The article, should, however, talk about solely as a concept (in fact, the website doesn't claim anything more). I think we should give it more thought before we delete it. It's insane, but in a cool way :) Ronline ✉ 07:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment -- All a fair point, but this is pretty far down there on the list of interesting crankiness. Transport crankiness is pretty obscure to begin with, and the only notable example I can come up with is the Boston Bypass, which would have run a highway and rail link across Boston Harbor.
