ABSTRACT:
A live steam locomotive carrier/portable steaming bay for a miniature train which would include a flat base portion of sufficient width and length to accommodate a standard miniature sized steam locomotive; a pair of parallel slots formed in the base portion from one end to the second end, for allowing the wheels of the locomotive to be placed into the slots so that the locomotive may be rolled along the length of the base portion; a peg member insertable into ports on both the first and second ends of the slot so that after the locomotive is in place the locomotive cannot inadvertently roll off of the first or second ends of the base portion; a pair of handle members extending upward from the base portion and each pair of handle members including a transverse portion for grasping by a person to carry the base portion in a substantial horizontal position with the steam locomotive thereupon; an indexing groove on at least one end of the base portion so that when the base portion is placed at the end of a track siding and the end portion is indexed onto a peg on the siding, the rail head of the siding lines up with the slots in the base portion; and adjusting screws on each corner of the base portion for raising or lowering the end portions of the base portion to accommodate the height of the rail head of the siding, so that once that is complete, the peg members are removed and the miniature steam locomotive is allowed to roll uninterrupted between the slotted base portion and the rail head of the siding so that the locomotive may then be placed into use.
