Mechanical Engineer and Castlebar native Louis Brennan (1852 – 1932) devised and patented (1903) a monorail locomotive with gyroscopic stabilisers which he had first thought about when completing his apprenticeship in Australia after seeing at first hand the construction difficulties caused by developing railways in the bush. In 1910 a Gyrocar was built for the Japan-British Exhibition in London and on a mile-long monorail track, 50 people at a time where offered rides on a gyro stabilised 22-ton prototype able to take corners at speed while being kept steady by a pair of gyroscopic stabilisers called gyrostats.
