I think we should start to develop a standard for small roads or paths on
the Moonbase ground. I am NOT talking about road baseplates. For this we
would actually build the roads on the normal 48x48 baseplates we're using.
Think about it. We do almost nothing with the ground on a Moonbase. I
think we have a lot more playing to do down there. If we had a road/path
system we could have all sorts of rovers and vehicles moving cargo and
people all over the moonbase.
And before someone says "Why not just have railroad track laid down there?",
you should know that I think that's a good idea too (as odd as it sounds)
but it's a *different* idea. I do think if it was done right, a short (ie:
not tall) tram system running on train track under the modules would look
gorgeous along with the other paths and the monorail.
But think about a road idea for now.
Ideas?

| (...) That's a terrible idea! Just kidding. File away in the "to think about later" bin... there's a minimum height that a tram has to be, which is driven by the height of a 9V motor unit as it sits on the tracks. It might be nice to be a brick or (...) (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

| I'm all for this, but have no suggestions for the group. Please keep in mind that this would be next to impossible to implement for those of us using raised baseplates in the layout and for those that make use of the actual baseplate for their (...) (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) I think that in lieu of road plates, the most flexible system would be 1x1 transparent rounds (red or flourescent yellow) used to mark the path, like an airport runway. This way, the path could be adjusted during a layout with a minimum amount (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
