I use the foam stock cases from JBs Model World.
http://www.jb2mmworld.co.uk/stock_cases.htm

another vote for JB's foam trays, which can either be stored in his blue plastic boxes, or be stored in A4  cardboard photocopier / printer paper boxes, freely available from work [those who still have jobs] or your local stationers, if you ask nicely [when they actually re-open]
been using then for over 10 years with no problems whatsoever.

I have the JB's boxes too. I store mine in Pappis cardboard boxes from Ikea;

and get 4 of the JB's boxes in each.

I use foam trays, but I also use circa 1in deep boxes of various types (old printer's film boxes were nice and large (about 1 1/2 ft x 1 ft) and about 3/4in deep). Just placing N gauge stock loose on its sides is adequate storage in 'shallow' boxes like this especially for older models with few delicate external parts

Old VHS cases with some foam suitably shaped & cut out makes a great transportation case if you just want to take a few items along to a club night.
I got the idea from the Kato storage cases my Eurostars came in.
