That would be so cool. I also had an interesting idea. What if someone made a
super module using four 48x48 baseplates and had eight corridors (two on each
side?) Even a long module on two baseplates, or and 'L' shaped module on three
baseplates. Working out the Geometrics for smaller baseplates would be
interesting as well.
Such a cool idea.
