Not sure this is what you are looking for but I've built a variety of carriers for taking locos to tracks. Not sophisticated and every one is different but they do the job for me. I use 1" or 1.5" aluminium angle and hold them together with two or three 3/16" strips. I glue (epoxy) and screw and it seems to manage the weight easily.

Also, on locos that have suitable couplers, I mount a coupler on the back end of the carrier to hold the loco in.
The dowel on the string is to 'lift' the back end of the box to allow the loco to be rolled on and off.
All the best,
