This won't work with current train loading & unloading stations. The current
stations have the front of the track 32 studs from the front of the module output
(or input).

Here's a small picture from the layout.

Area "F" is the current GBC. It's shown as 2x6 (baseplates). That includes the
train having 8 studs on the plate behind the GBC.
For this show, I may just mess around with having a module that's 32 studs wide, and
64 studs deep, with a train in the middle (32 in front of the train, 24 behind it).
I'm open to other ideas on how to incorporate a GBC into a train layout...
