With the contents of the solar build train decided, we can lay out the
station that will fill it, and consider the special case of how we are
going to lay down the first station.


The train is not reversable. We would need to have an ODD number of
cargo wagons, or would have to assure that the orientation never
changed, by never allowing the train to turn around. It is easier to
use a 3-8-0 and design roll-on roll-off (roll-through) stations, and
have turnarounds.


With a "skeleton" layout for the "next station" we can get better
control over when we transition. Unfortunately, if multiple solar
build stations are enabled, the train will pick one, and nothing is
going to try to make it go to the one with the deeper need.


So it may be best to work out of one station at a time.


When pruning the roboports and radars, it is important to assure there
is a way to cycle them out of the logistics network and, preferably,
back into circulation. Note that this recycling needs to NOT use a
requestor chest, because that would immediately demand all of the
resources from the supplier chest.


Similarly, to allow for return of in flight items ... in general, we
need to have anything that is brought back by the bots to be dumped in
the trash car, not just wood, rock, and coal. And finally, if any
items are in the trash chests, the train needs to be summoned.
