Title: Small storage box
Post by: ohlavache on September 25, 2024, 05:54:54 PM
Hello.
I have built 4 wagons on a Peco 9ft chassis (ref. NR-120). And I would like to store them together in the same box.
Any idea where I could get such a box?
I only find big ones for a large number of wagons.
Thanks for your help.

A large matchbox would be OK, I just tried it, with each wagon wrapped in a piece of tissue paper or bubblewrap.

Alternatively one of those small plastic boxes, with a lid, that is suitable for storing food in.  I'm sure that Lidl and Aldi do them from time to time.

TEMU. The link is very long, so I didn't post it.
It's called: 1pc Transparent Plastic Box,

How about a cleaned up buttery spread plastic container? It comes free with the buttery spread.

You should be able to fine a food storage tub at your local supermarket. There's often a choice of take-away type containers or something more substantial.

VHS Cassette cases are also perfect for storing models in (or unfinished projects).
