   Another point on putting space train track on the edge of modules - it becomes vitally important that you follow a strict six-wide rule on your trains. i.e. not even half a plate of overhang is allowed for ladders or handles. The trains must be able to squeeze through a six-wide gap.

Flibbity Floo. Any “system” that has such heavy restrictions on building creativity sucks and should be abandoned. I mean really. Why bother with incorporating “trains” at all?

It’s not that hard to do you know, so long as you’ve grown out of Duplo!

Only kidding. You don’t have to do any of that. It’s just if you want to make big wide diesel-guzzling stacked intermodal space trains they’d be limited to the periphery and inter-base travel. Smaller ones can serve the local spaceman community’s intra-base transport needs.

Unless of course this is the start of a campaign for 64x64 moonbase modules with 5.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 studs around the edges?
