Basically. Actually, the track was sort of free form. I just laid it out
where it fit. We also had a slight difficulty in getting through Jon's
module, his track position was off by one stud... Fortunately,
clearances still allowed us to run through.
With larger modules, it will be harder to lay the monorail, but it still
makes sense to lay most of it where it fits. The standard is key for
people actually building track into their modules so that when the rest
of the track is laid, the integrated track can be connected.
