Option to toggle model alignment for hanging monorail cars

Describe the Suggestion

Yes, this is very specific, but hear me out. Building a monorail track on which the cars sit upside-down (hanging) looks pretty amazing until you go up or down a sloped section of track.

First image: a snazzy ski lift-style skycar ready to take me to my drowned farm.
Second image: ... I don't think it should be pointing that way.

Would LOVE an option that toggles whether a bogey on an angled track renders its attached car relative to its own position (full x/y/z rotation) or independent (locked to y-rotation only). This would allow for much nicer-looking ski lifts while not forcing a change on people who might use hanging cars for other purposes. I'm not sure how nicely this would play with the extremely variable nature of curved and angled rail lines, though.

Additional Context

I think this might function best as a config toggle rather than on a per-bogey basis.
