I think it would make a lot more sense to have 3 or 4 standards. And then you
can shuffle the bases about any way you like and still have everything work
together. You could run your track any way you want within your base as long as
it comes out at the standardized spots. Jon and them are working on clearance
standards as well. So all the trams, trains, etc, can run through the entire
base without problems.
