The JB Modelworld foam liners are just slightly larger than A4 by approx 5mm on each side

I'm glad you wrote that, or I'd have swerved it after a couple of minutes. Some great harmonies, she has a powerful voice. The guitar sound wasn't right for me - I think it may have sounded better on a Les Paul

Something else that popped up whilst I was listening to my Daily Recommendation from Tidal.

I like this but I'm not at all sure what others will make of it. It's a band with an interesting but chequered history.

I'm beginning to think "the wagon yard" have abandoned N-gauge altogether!

Thanks for the info. It's just that my best performing loco is the Sonic Prairie with the coreless motor.

If you want something to fit your existing box size, then getting foam custom cut is an option. I used Potterton Pacs a few years ago.

I started making my own foam trays to fit the Westons Boxes - two trays per box using 2mm greyboard with foam glued on top. Cutting the foam and card was taking too long so I threw some cash at the problem and got the carboard trays laser cut, and likewise with the foam inserts.

In hindsight I should have found a slightly deeper box or had the card bases cut such that the models sat on the wheel tread rather than flanges as they're a little but squashed.

The foam inserts were roughly A4 in size, cut in either 7 or 10 slots depending on orientation. Cost for the foam was about £6-8 each depending on quantity. This was in 2019 though!
