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

Welcome to the wonderful world of space building. And a very cool start.
The warehouse overall is fairly plain and boxy, but that’s tha nature of
warehouses, so you got it spot on. That said there’s a lot of cool detailing
spattered about.
I’m building a small
cargo ship at the moment and was going to use some sort of containerisation in
the hold, so I’ll see if your containers will fit. Generally speaking I think
your containers are a bit small - real containers are quite large, but these may
be perfect for the limited volume in my hold.
Another cool & practical feature you could add would be to make the crane gantry
move across the floor so that it can more directly pick up the containers.
I look forward to seeing what you do with the space train idea.
Cheers,
Allister
p.s. thanks for the nod. I’m glad you liked it. I’d like to reciprocate by
thanking you for creating such a wonderful resource as the BI portal.

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 (...)
