No, there's no standard as of yet, but that could be one of the things we

think thats all that would be needed.


I was thinking along the lines of a standard height and placement for the
track within the module, so that it would hookup with track from adjacent
modules without problem.  I'm not even sure if this is possible with the
geometry of the monorail track and the moonbase modules.

The reason I ask is that I would like to include a monorail station into my
module, but would like to be sure that it will line up with the monorail
track that others will be using / bringing.

I think the NWBrickCON guys just had the monorail track set to a height of two
of the large black pedestal pieces.  Add a slope to get it down to one height
and build the monorail at that level, i'd think.

That seems to be good enough of a standard, I'd think.

(...) I agree, if there's a concern about fitting the rails past the station module we can just configure the modules accordingly. Either way, Troy, it would be great if you brought a station. We'll make it work! Felix (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) At NW BrickCon we had monorail track at +0, +10, and +20 (and even a small amount at +30 I think). +20 was necessary to clear most modules since it turns out it's easiest to just run the track whereever. However, if a station is actually built (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)
