Since hooking up the pin connectors between loco and tender on C-19 and K-27 is not always a pleasant task, I have been thinking of "permanently" connecting them. But then the problem arises about how to transport the engine and tender securely and then be able to roll it off and onto the track. Has anyone ever built some kind of carrying platform? Hope this makes sense and any help and advice is most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Howard,
Look here http://www.gscalejunkie.com/52insidecarry.html. I just finished building the first one for an Aristo Mallet, considerably larger than either of those engines (I own both).
