[Improved] “Storm” Light Double-Gauge Artillery Railbarge Mk.LXXVI

Contest Update: I crushed it with over 2750 Likes. For perspective, the second-place finisher had just over 1600. Thanks y'all!

A pivotal milestone in railship development, the Storm was among the first series of double-gauge rail vessels designed specifically to form a train.
Previous double-gauge vessels were less structurally complex and operated individually. Since these retronymically-termed “rigid” shoulder-less railships were more constrained in their length, (and therefore their volume) by track geometry, the capacity taken up by their internal engines and fuel storage was particularly burdensome.
The improved efficiency of dedicated locomotives within a double-gauge train permitted any non-motive vessel to allocate more of its capacity to weaponry, often resulting in an immense turret spanning nearly its entire beam. The addition of swiveling shoulders between the trucks and body allowed these vessels to grow to sizes far beyond those of rigids.
The first non-rigid double-gauge vessels saw action in the latter stage of the Great Steam War, but remained effective long into the era of internal combustion.

Play Features:
-L-Gauge compatibility (concentric curves and narrowing offsets up to 22.5º)
-Motorized turret rotation
-Detailed interior
