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

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.

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

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