Lenny has proposed that the train track also be moved to the seam between
baseplates. I see pros and cons to this, but I’m willing to consider it. But
what this pic mainly shows is where the 2 track types will lay much of the
time.

I haven’t tested this to see if it will actually work, but shortly after I made
the proposal to you, I thought of a compromise.
Ok, if you take a curve piece and then put another curve piece opposing so that
both sides outside of the curve were straight and parallel, it would move the
track several studs to the right or left. like
this.
Now, I think it would move the track four studs over - and if you used four
curves (two in one direction, two opposed), it would be eight studs and
therefore make the two styles compatible. Four stretches of track, if I’m
correct, would be roughly equal to the length of one baseplate, ergo only
requiring one baseplate of length to make the change.
Certainly something to test at BF04 - when I debut the Eastern Block
Space-Train. that is, if i get off my keister and make it. heh.

| Let's hammer this out for good this week. I'd like to put it on the Moonbase site soon. We'll work on width first. Look at this bad pic: (URL) Lenny has proposed that the train track also be moved to the seam between baseplates. I see pros and cons (...)
