PS. And we're both ignoring the IR battery box in the centre which also has to
be worked around.

How far does the IR sensor bulge stick out?  Does the bulge make the baseplate
exactly 7-wide?

I've got no idea to be honest. I assume we'd have to leave a gap but I meant
more about working around the 4x10x3 battery box in the middle rather than the
sensor (bad explanation I know).

Oh, right. Second read I realized what you meant.

Here is a crude 7-wide shell built on a 6x28 train baseplate.
It uses the 1x2 Technic bricks with 2-holes, the Technic Axle with stud at one
end, and Technic Bushings to locate the SNOT 2x2 tiles flush with 7-wide.
