Carrying G scale locos by plane??

I'll be travelling from Aus to UK and USA soon and would like to bring a small loco with me. It's radio control, using a small keyfob transmitter.
From reading the US regulations (I assume they are the most strict), I've decided on the following:
I'm planning on putting the loco in my 'checked' suitcase, with batteries removed. I'll leave the keyfob transmitter opened up with the battery removed, all in a plastic bag next to the loco. I'll also leave the 8, NiMH, AA cells in separate plastic bags next to the loco. (No lithium!)

Has anybody had any RECENT experience transporting locos? and NiMH batterries in luggage?

I've carried 'proprietry' locos and motor blocks back from the US on a number of ocassions with only a nice note form US customs saying they had opened my bag.
 
Not G-scale, but I had problems at BWI airport (Baltimore) in May this year when I had 2 N scale locos in my hand baggage to board the flight back to the UK.
According to the woman who was supervising the baggage scanner, they give off the "signature" of a handgun on the equipment - don't ask me how - so that got them a bit agitated, to say the least!

It may just be a Baltimore thing, as something similar happened there 10 years ago, but they didn't come up with the "gun" explination then. Never had any other incidents with locos at other US airports though.
