My preference would be to go to some store or person in the NY area where I live and hand deliver the locomotive, and pick it up when the repair is done, to avoid possible damage during shipping. On the other hand, this Postwar steamer looks pretty sturdy, so I could package it carefully and ship it to a distant location, if necessary. Arnold
If you plan to have someone repair your item, please do them the favor of not attempting to repair it yourself first. Most things that break can be repaired UNLESS someone has gone inside with more enthusiasm than skill and damaged them beyond repair or rendered them FUBAR.
