If I am able to join the La Mesa club, i is not unusual for them to run very long trains with a lot of locomotives on the point and even helpers mid-train or pushing on the rear. I want to be able to carry as many cars and locomotives as I might want to run, and having them in a large cabinet that can be strapped in the back of my pick up and roll into the museum just makes sense to me. I also tried the Proto Power West carrying case system, but that thing gets awful heavy to carry if I'm parked any distance from a show! I also forgot to mention that we installed a floating floor from Ikea in out new master bedroom, walk in closet, and dining room. I still have most of a roll of the foam that goes under the flooring to use to wrap up my rolling stock in to protect them.
