Added lugnet.trains since it wasn't posted to originally and at least
one massive monorail collector is not that much into space (hi Cary!).

I'll have to post my track counts later, however, the moon base setup
demonstrated that a huge monorail collection actually isn't necessary.
We only used about half my straights, I think we could have done the
whole layout with my collection. It would be neat to build a really wild
monorail layout, but we couldn't have added too much more track to the
moon base layout without making it a monorail madness with a few moon
base modules buried under the track for random effect.
Of course future moon base projects will be larger, but still, I think a
couple large monorail collections are all that will ever be needed.
Still, it's fun to think about what we could do, and as someone who
brought four complete trains, and could build two more, I'm all for
having a reasonably complex layout...
