Maersk recently sent my employer several of these at the end of the year and I see they are now on the Lego store also. Very cool kit! shop.lego.com/en-US/Maersk-Line-Triple-E-10241I have an older one that's a generic Maersk container ship that sits on my desk. :-) As a side note Lego now supports submitting your own custom designs to have them elevated to be manufactured as full on sets. The biggest thing this was done for recently was the Mars Curiosity Rover. Lego ferry anyone? lego.cuusoo.com/

I would love to see a V class in Lego - not sure which vintage, but with the original livery! However, my nephew could build the Island Sky from his own Lego bricks, etc.

I can't recall if I ever did an actual V Class, but I know I also did do Langdale Queen, too.

So it would be relatively easy to build a very accurate Coho or V-Class now. While I built several ferries when I was a kid I did not have this at my disposal: shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByThemeI've used this site and the store in Bellevue to purchase raw bricks to fix kits and build stands for some higher end scale model kits. And then they have this software: ldd.lego.com/en-us/It can help you try to figure what you need to order, though it certainly wouldn't be cheap or fast you could design a full ferry using it. There are a few people on here who have done digital models of various boats and I suspect they could whip one up pretty fast.
