Another apect I was recently thinking about is where tracks usually cross
baseplates. For instance, is it “easier” to get a straight section right next to
the edge of a 32x32 baseplate, or six studs away? Or eight? Or... what? Does
this always have to be planned, in detail, for the entire layout (ugh), or are
there some standard (like Moonbase proposes, although I’ve never seen it
applied) that make certain spacings “magic” (easy, common)?
If I want to build a module that unloads, the spacing from the track is
critical. Other train GBc modules might be shifted and the gaps “patched” with
green plates or something... but at least for load/unload modules, where the
track has to go is the starting point. Is there a preexisting standard (or at
least convention), or is this something we should define now for the train GBC
versions?
