My First Ship!
As humanity spread around the Solar System, large cargo haulers were developed for interplanetary commerce.  The LCH’s fly on a continuous gravity assist solar orbit slingshotting around the planets.  Do to a lack of a large body to sling shot around the outpost in the Asteroid belt were often left behind.  Over time shipping companies running smaller haulers came to dot the Asteroid belt to fill the void. The smaller vessels run between the cargo hubs at Mars and Jupiter to supply life in the belt.  The many small cargo companies often have unusual paint schemes and a few modify the structure for their own unique look.  The Meghan’s Ferry Space Railroad Company is one such outfit.  Named after a small railroad that operated in central Missouri.  The MFSRR haulers with their train themed haulers always stand out and their reputation for timely delivery has made the MFSRR one of the most trusted of the the belt haulers.
I had some unique constraints for this SHIP. I’ve wanted to build a SHIP for years, I but have a modest collection by most AFOL standards, and limited building time. A cargo vessel made sense as it opened up my color pallet to use a variety of colors and not worry about it turning in to  Unikitty’s “Rainbow Spaceship.”  The Idea of a space train has been bouncing around my head for a while and on about the 8th I put together the start of the frame and the “Engine” it came together after that.  Meghan’s Ferry MO is the fictional setting of my dad’s HO scale model railroad.
