Behold... space based intermodal! Using standardized containers, the warehouse module stores the containers. Soon to be built ships move the containers between worlds. And soon to be built space trains move the containers around the moonbase.

This is pretty cool. I really like the gantry made out of fence elements. Your choice of Scout Trooper as foreperson is something I found a bit strange - is this a Star Wars MOC, or is he about to leave for the staff fancy dress party? :-)

Your container design is good, I like it how the connection point can take a 2-stud axle so as to connect them together in a chain. I’ve made some containers of my own for a cargo-based MOC:



Mine open from the side because I wanted them to be openable while connected. I also thought that 6-wide internally would allow for a greater variety of cargo; the designs shown above are only wider than 8 studs for cosmetic reasons (which would probably rule them out for trains).

Cheers,

Yeah, yeah, I know I've been into trains for quite some time. But after months and months of saying things like "I almost build space stuff", an upcoming LEGO show here in Dallas has prompted me to finally build some space stuff. I got primed by (...)
