Oh, BOY! Now I'm intrigued! I was looking forward to the visit in the ether land of the LS&W (we'll figure out some sort of temporary backdrop thingie when the time comes) but now I'm equally interested in the packing box, as I was contemplating fabricating something in the way of protection for the box car.

Well, I'm excited to see this Big Blue box and see how it protects this important model!
It looks like a very nice box!
