Conveyex Rail Weapon

Due to the extreme terrain on continent F, a normal train simple will not do. So the Penguin Monarchy has developed the Conveyex Rail Weapon to satisfy the need for fast and efficient transport across the mountains. A minimum train payload includes six distinct cars that each serve a vital function.

 

Top row, right to left:

 

1. Engine:

The engine of the Conveyex doubles as the command bridge and houses the controls for a vehicle. The engine car also includes an anti-aircraft cannon to support the main weapon.

 

2. Weapon Car:

The weapon car supports the missile launcher and as loaded with heat-seeking torpedoes. The main weapon has a 360 degree radius and is loaded by an automatic magnetic crane.

 

3. Ammunition Car

The ammunition car carries a payload of heat-seeking torpedoes to be loaded into the main weapon.

 

Bottom row, right to left:

 

4. Support Car

The support Car is used in conjunction with the main weapon and is able to fire on any enemy positions ahead of the Conveyex. This car shares part of the engine housing with the engine car and cannot be separated from it.

 

5. Tanker Car:

The tanker car is used to transfer the precious resource of oil across the continent to fuel the penguin's war machine. Four tanks are housed in each tanker car.

 

6. Crew Car:

The crew car is essential for being a relaxing environment for the crew of the Conveyex. The crew car features a row of windows, and a hatch on each side if the crew should need to walk outside on the Conveyex.

 

Platforms are situated along the track to update the pilot on the condition of the track and indicate other essential information.

 

This was a very tricky but worthwhile build to make and I got a huge amount of inspiration from this concept art from Solo: A Star Wars Story: www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https://www.starwars.com/...
