MOONBASE :: TRANSPORT

Track & Transportation

A great way to bring a Moonbase to life is with motorized rail vehicles.

LEGO Monorails, Spacetrains and fan-created vehicles like the MTV make a layout look more alive and interesting.

Track Placement

Unlike modules and corridor placement, there is no strict standard for where track goes.

When a Moonbase is set up, the modules are shifted around and hooked up, then the track is laid down.

There are usually a few "anchor" modules brought that incorporate track in a terminal or station. Beginning to lay track out from these spots is usually a good idea.

Clearance

You should always consider clearance when making a vehicle to run on any of the track. Your vehicle is going to be running under, over and around dozens of modules, corridors and obstacles.

There will be more info on suggested vehicle heights and widths soon.
