I got one of these from Lidl but need another now.



WOW! Is this something you got from there recently,they only tend to sell things for short periods.

I found these storage boxes for £2.49 each in Quality Save - you can take dividers out and make room for a loco/coach or keep it in and put in one wagon. You can even fit 2 16t mineral wagons in one section. Wouldn't be much use for transporting my toy trains but seeing as my stuff just stays in the office I thought why not!

I like the blue plastic foam-lined boxes I bought from JB's Model World at TINGS.  Ebay is coming up empty now though, anyone know what happened to him?

Another satisfied customer here :thumbsup:

I know he has sporadic medical issues so maybe he's not got anything listed at the moment for that reason. Here's a link to what he normally sells on Ebay just so people can see:-

Stupidly long Ebay link

These boxes also fit perfectly into those foldable plastic crates you get from cheapy shops, eight boxes to a crate :) Think I'm up to 15 boxes now!  :worried:

I bought 2 of these about 6 months ago and agree with Bob, they are VERY heavy, I used extra and better fixings than those supplied as I wasn't convinced the supplied fixings were strong enough. Good quality too and if I remember rightly they were about £60 for 1 or £110 for 2. I may be wrong though on the price.

Edit: I just checked and it was indeed £60 for 1 and £110 for 2. They were a bargain at that price!

I have 2 of these - not cheap but very good.

Think I ordered special inserts. Had them about  6 years.

Same here - I presently have three of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-N-Gauge-Case-and-trays-for-42-coaches-locos-or-over-100-wagons-/230946707480?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item35c57f1818 (sorry, don't know how to shorten the link!  ??? ) However, I do also have two of the blue stock boxes too - got them from a local model railway shop for £8 each, but they were also on sale at the Bristol Thornbury Model railway show last weekend.
