Geoff. Dear Geoff, > >I have some experience in personally transporting live steam locomotives on >a plane. I use a roll-on case with the equipment rolled up in toweling. >When I get to the security x-ray machine I immediately tell the inspection >people: "I have something here that you have never seen before, a model >train locomotive, it's really something". That usually is enough and they >then recognize it. If I am asked to open my case everyone gathers around to >oh and ah over it. I might loose 10 minutes at the most. I do not carry >any tools in the case. My case this time weighs in at 20 kilos with my #268 >and its aluminum carrier. For the lesser informed that is 44 lbs. The big >problem is getting it in the overhead bin because of its weigh, not size. >So don't sweat it out. No problem. > >Arthur--Mexico >> >> > >
