I have been working on a train that fits and feels Classic Space. I have completed the locomotive, but I am having a difficult time coming up with a train car design that I like. I want to do something modular/intermodal like yet it does not look like a regular official set intermodal car.

My vision for the train cars is that they are not only compatible with existing containers (like from the Maersk train set), but to also have their own modular components. I want to do modular since it feels more "spacey" instead of having dedicated train cars for a specific purpose. I was thinking of having a passenger module (to transport the Classic Space astronauts to and from the work site), an open-top container for putting any mined minerals into, a rover platform, and something else. Maybe a satellite rocket launcher pad that can be used while the train is in motion, I do not know. I can work out how to get the modules/containers off of the train cars after they are built. So any ideas are most appreciated.
Any tips, suggestions, and comments are welcome!
