Hi any suggestions on shipping a track? Ho track aprox 4x14 up to 5 x30. May be able to break down into smaller sections.
any advice from anyone who has shipped or know how to do this would be appreciated.
I am looking into getting aturn key ho track and possibly a small turn key model railroad for my dad as well.
Thanks
Ryan

How many miles will you have to ship the track? I have been trying to sell my track for 6 months and the shipping is a problem. My track is 4'x10' and to have it shipped from Las Vegas to points back east, I was quoted anywhere from $3,500-$5,000 through a frieght company. My track has to be crated to protect the landscaping and that cost was approximately $800. If the distance is reasonable your best bet would be to rent a trailer or U'haul van and transport it yourself. Sorry I can't provide you with a less expensive alternative. Good Luck!
