WARNING

DO NOT ALLOW ANY MOVERS TO PACK YOUR TRAINS.  AND DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO REPACK ANYTHING YOU HAVE PACKED AND ARE HAPPY WITH.



From the Department of Redundancy Department - let me repeat, repeat, repeat Traindiesel's excellent advice.

I have packed and moved all my train related items with one exception - the large bridge.  And that was packed in a special crate constructed by the moving company's owner himself.  That only reason for that is that I have used this moving company 3 times.  They are trustworthy; the owner is a man of his word.  If you want their name, e-mail me.  Their business model is:

  1. They pack your belongings for you - carefully.
  2. They load the truck(s).
  3. You rent and drive the truck(s).  Typically, a box truck (28') is fairly easy to drive.
  4. They unload the truck(s).

This approach saves you money (because you're not paying a traditional moving company's expensive rate/pound/mile) and aggravation (because they do the grunt work of packing, loading, and unloading).

OK, for the buildings (and I saw this in another magazine):

  1. Fasten down the building to a base
  2. Put up some stiff sides around the building (higher than the building)
  3. Put it inside a box.

This will protect each building.

Best of luck with your move.
