moving !!!!####**** arg

Hi Les, I'm late to this party but thought I'd mention how I moved two years ago. I did have boxes for most of my locos, and those which I did not have boxes for I boxed together much as above. But I had hundreds of blue box freight cars with no boxes. I simply wrapped each one with paper towels and laid them in copy paper boxes, which I got at work. The cars are light so stacking them up was no issue. I had no damage but will state that I moved them myself, I did not use a mover. I had bought the house we were moving to (did not downsize, just moved the heck out of high tax NJ) several years before we actually moved. I had 4 weeks vacation every year, so 4 times a year I rented a u-haul trailer and moved bit by bit. No one ever touched those boxes but me! I am grateful to have read the above descriptions for making nice secure boxes. I have joined a modular club and was recently thinking of how to get equipment to shows safely, will be using above info.

Am now retired, and would be willing as is Doc Wayne to help with a future move.
