What kind of case is this? Guess anyone?

Instrument

Al Capone's Tommygun case.

Well, since this is a toy/model 3-rail train forum I'd say it carries a toy/model train.  The length indicates a large O-gauge or G-gauge item, and unless you have several of these cases laying around for multiple cars I'd say it is for an expensive engine.

While it could be something like a brass G-gauge GG1, I will go with a brass steam engine, maybe an articulated engine from the shape.

If there is anything other than a toy train in it, I will go with Dave's response.

I second the motion.....

I do have soprano saxophones…. Just in case!
anyone?

Looks a lot like my son's case for his electric guitar.

But my guess is it contains a N or Z scale layout.

But I guess that’s outer case…..it’s a case from the late 50’s

ok. I will post it….after a few more guesses.

I guess I should have put the Big L on it….I like Ro miller49 response! And Ron’s reply..

OK, I was bringing a gift to a friend who for the past 22 years has always wanted one but never had the opportunity realistically. This buddy of mine had a history of playing the clarinet and was fascinated by my saxophones.  So I stopped by his house with the case and wished him a happy birthday!  And he stared at the case, and I only wished I had a video of the event!

picture of the contents of the case next up.

So does anyone know why when I place the photos the “value required “shows up in red? Photos wont send!

tried a few times……hmmmm

Here is what he saw…

A perfect fit for 746 plus tender

I was sitting a home last night after a long work week wondering what kind of box I could birthday wrap this loco in when I realized I had a empty straight saxophone case waiting for a contents! it not only fit well, it was velvet padded where the running gear rods were! I certainly grinned a Cheshire smile when the top of the case closed over the great hump of the J roof!

That looks great!

It's a "Saxo-Train" ...no, wait... it's a "Lionel-O-Phone."

Final resting place of Jimmy Hoffa.

It's the Grand Trunk Railroad (case).
