Baggage Train

Troop Transport Case

by Dick Bryant

The Baggage Train provides a selection of figure carrying cases. The sample pictured is made of reinforced nylon and can carry up to 12” of trays – others in the line can carry as much as 17.5” of trays. The sturdy wooden trays come in 1”, 1 1/2”, 2”, 3”, and 4” heights and fit snugly in the case. There is also a side pocket for rules, paper, etc. This is a lightweight but strong case that will provide secure and convenient transport for your figures. The company also offers vinyl sided transport cases and a deluxe case of various sizes. The trays may be lined with magnetic sheets (or magnetic tape) to better secure your figures. The manufacturer offers to do this for $7.50/tray, but I think that you can do it as well for a lot less cost. The prices vary from $35 (as pictured) to $55, with the trays costing between $3.50 and $9.50 ea. So a complete case could cost you as much as $89.50, depending on size and number of trays.
