Prototypes:
Disney's models can be modified to represent a number of prototypes, including Seattle; Las Vegas; Palm Jumeirah; and some Japanese monorails. Since no models of these monorails are available the existing model will have to be kit-bashed (a model railroad term for combining parts from a number of model kits). The provided beamway is not prototypical for any existing monorail and a fix for that is discussed in another article on this web site (link).
Since Disney's model is close to HO scale most HO accessories are suitable. This includes structures; people; vehicles; scenery; etc. The world of HO model railroading provides accessories to model just about any environment imagineable.
The photos below show some of the various prototype monorails worldwide.
