Cool.  The modular nature of these containers really enhance their utility.  I'm
really liking the Moonbase attachment points on all four sides.

On the surface, the TEU's are transferred to rail lines

I like the way that you join the modules to the single wheel sets.  This is
similar to the way I've seen truck/rail containers transferred.  Also, it
minimizes the height of the train so that it has less of a chance of hitting
something while it is on the Moonbase track.

The cab/thruster units can also be used to land pre-fab moonbase modules

Wow.  Those cab/thruster units must be pretty powerful.  :)

Jason, I really like all of this.  As always, keep up the great work!
