 Dear Brendan,
If you search for Louis Bennan’s Monorail Car on the net you should get enough information to build a good working model.
Hope this is what you meant by gyro car.
Will do this myself sometime in the future.
Beware though some of the descriptions or drawings I have seen which relate to Brennan’s system are wrong.

 Robert Graham who was an executor for Louis Brennan deposited Brennan's prototype for his monorail car with the Science Museum in London. I wrote my PhD thesis on Brennan's work and obtained a few of his patents and other material for his monorail. If this reply is not to late my thesis may be of use. I lodged a copy with the Science Museum's Library and two in Kent at Gillingham UK in 2000. I live in Melbourne Australia.
sincerely Michael Kitson
