If you look under the set reference for 4559 someone says something like
"Blacktron can finally take the train to work." The same could also be said
for 4561, which is what I think you are alluding to here. Just mix in some
gray elements and classic space logos with 4561 and it will fit right in
with a space station. Modify the seats to accommidate the tanks on the
space dudes and you're in business. You could even make flat beds and have
partially assembled components to a Galaxy Explorer or Space Cruiser chained
to them. Or you could try what you proposed above, which sounds good and I
really can't offer any advice on. Just my 2 chunks of madness.
