One segment includes a carry handle affixed to its upper extent and one segment includes a long indentation. A track roller assembly is comprised of a flexible track and a plurality of wheels. The wheels are formed in a cylindrical configuration with holes at their center. A base is formed as the lower extent of the suitcase which includes a plurality of downwardly extending members with a centrally located aperture extending therethrough. A plurality of axles is centrally positioned within the apertures in the members. Each axle has a wheel mounted on each end thereof. The track is positioned around the wheels forming an oval shaped configuration. A hinge has two generally planar rectangular wings. The wings join the first and second segments. A pull handle consists of a long cylindrically shaped rod. The rod is positioned within the indentation in one segment. The handle includes a locking mechanism adapted to allow fastening of the handle at different angles with respect to the plane of the top section.
