I believe the USPS has a Priority "flat Rate" box for maybe $4.99? This may be the key to selling more items.

Hi Walt,
The 4.99 boxes are very small. I think the loco would fit but there will not be a lot of room for packing material, my fear is that items will be damaged in the small box. Shipping cost can be lowered by going first class or parcel post on all of these items. I'm all about saving money on shipping.

I see Eaglerock! I just noticed the Flat Rate Priority boxes on the USPS website a few days ago. Wasn't sure how big they were.

I should have stated the shipping prices are for the medium flat rate box, but I will send first class or parcel post on all these items to save the buyer a few bucks.
