My question as well. I have built a number of large buildings for train
shows that have traveled with varying success. How do you plan to transport
it -- or is it stronger than it looks?
So far I've tried wrapping with bubble wrap, and constructing thin-sheet
styofoam shells. Both work. For buildings without a lot of protrusions, the
strofoam shells are much easier to get off and on the building once they're
made. I also put foam inside buildings to keep them from collapsing during
transport. Most buildings have to be transported upright; even with the
packing and wrapping, they split apart if they're on their side.
You can unquestionably follow up to trains.org for this reply :)
