Another point on putting space train track on the edge of modules - it becomes

not even half a plate of overhang is allowed for ladders or handles.  The trains

around a layout where there may be solid walls right up against the track.

It's preferable to do short two-axle trucks too.  Longer bogey trucks may be
awkward.  That's a bit limiting though, so you'd probably just have to be
careful which modules you lay the track around.

Aside from all the other great ideas you've brought up, I should mention
that I'm all for track being just about anywhere on a module. Track
running on the edge of a module is just fine as far as I'm concerned.

The Moonbase page will reflect this change with an expanded track
section real soon.
