Hello,
meanwhile, we have picked up the set, and are back in Germany. We were a member of the Museum, a journalist, and me. The journalist came with us for writing a report for the German press.
On last Wednesday, we started at 6 o'clock in the morning, and we arrived at Steve at around 7 o'clock in the evening after a trip through five countries (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Britain).
We meet Steve with a kind reception, tested the set and packed it well for transportation. Thurday, we arrived in Braunschweig at 10:15 p.m.. We had traffic jam in Antwerpen and around Eindhoven.
Yesterday, we have brought the set to the Kuba-museum in Wolfenbuttel and unpacked it. All went well without damage, and the set is well funktioning. Even the centering magnet kept its position (i expected that it will move by hits and kicks while driving on bumpy roads.
Here are some photos:

BTW: I did the trip one day after a bone scan, so I was radioactive. Here is a short video of my radioactivity:

But meanwhile, radioactivity already declined significantly.
Kind regards,
