Steam Sleeper Family is the family ship between Momma, Memphis Belle, Rusty, Duvay and Belle from the Starlight Express fandom.
Canon[]
All five have never been in a production together. As Memphis Belle was phased out of most productions by the earlys 90s. Meaning that she would have never met Duvay or the second Belle within canon. She has also never met Momma, as Momma replaced Poppa starting in 2018. Which means that she did meet her counterpart. Duvay has not met Momma either, as she was a character that only existed in the second UK tour. Being gone by the time any of the others were introduced. Belle actually being a technical replacement for her by essentially having the same role, given that they both took Ashley's place in UK productions. Belle was specifically meant to be reference to Memphis Belle as the original sleeper car. Though the two have very different roles and as a result of their place in the story.
Rusty, as the main character of the show, has been in every production. Meaning that he has had some kind of interaction with all the characters. Memphis Belle was his first racing partner in the original London Production. Duvay was one of the coaches that he pulled in the Second UK Tour, while Belle was one of the coaches in the Wembley Park production. Momma became his mentor starting in 2018, having significant interactions with her in all productions after that.

Steam Sleeper Family is an incredibly rare theory in the StEx fandom. The idea came about due to several other fan theories within the fandom. First being that Momma is actually Rusty's mom. This is due to them both being steamers. Many fans also like the idea of Memphis Belle being related to the other sleepers that the show has introduces over the years. Most often the mother of either Duvay or Belle. Many fans also ship Memphis Belle and Momma, which combined with the other theories, could lead to some fans seeing them all as a family.
