I think Kevin has a point here about thinking too small. I would suggest a "Cargo"
or "Freight Mover" theme. I know there are a lot of cargo sets out now but they
fall under the general Town umbrella. What I would like to see is a unifying theme
where sets like 6542 Launch and Load Seaport are tweaked into a giant conglomerate
shipping company with:
Pirate-ship sized (or larger) freighters, tankers, and container ships (grey
16-wide hull mid sections - Yay!)
Cargo blimps
A trucking company, ala 2149 Cargo Line Cargo Truck but with two trucks per box.
Maybe a combination of one flatbed, one box, or one tanker.
New cargo train with tank car, container flat, box car
Canal boats, barges, tugs (and the associated baseplates, locks, bridges)
Air freight (terminal, jets, loading equipment) Maybe a FedEx or UPS tie-in
DC-10, C-130, Aero Spacelines Guppy, helicopters
Giant container forklifts
Cranes
Container yard goat (the stripped down truck that moves containers around in the
yard for the big trucks to pick up)
etc. etc.
