Christmas included the PECO Flexi Loco Lift kit. It's an easy way to remove or place locomotives onto a layout without the risk of breaking delicate parts.
It is very easy to put together. With a few screws to secure the width of the track and some plastic snaps to link two kits together, you are ready to move locomotives. This kit can be used with a variety of scales.
This device fits perfectly on track and a locomotive will roll onto the copper plates laying on the track. Once the locomotive is stopped within the kit, you can close the plastic gates on each side to avoid it from falling out. Finally, just lift and it's off the layout and ready to store some place safe.
I am going to use it to move my CP 2816 Hudson steam locomotive. However, it is longer than the double lift kit. I ended up ordering one more (single) kit and attached it to the double kit. Within 10 minutes, it was ready to go.
