PS on a general note a pox on any manufacturer (Fleischmann, cough cough) who puts the product number but no description on their boxes, that's one thing which Farish and Dapol at least do.

Yes, fully agree!  :thumbsup: While it is easy enough to do to produce labels, particularly for each tailor-made box, having all the manufacturers do this as a matter of course on all boxes would be greatly appreciated.

I have a selection of the blue boxes and KR Multicases. I generally wrap my locos in sandwich bags to avoid any snags hoiking bits off, and if bits do escape they should at least be contained in the bag.

A lot of mine are stored in cassettes on trays in a long plastic storage box with foam at the ends and a sheet of foam on the underside of each tray above, the top layer has foam inserts (similar to those in many of the boxes in previuos posts) for individual items.

Thanks for all the replies

I have been busy making new trays so the locos are kept upright, fortunately the coaches and wagons can stay on their side so didn't have to replace them all.  And now have the old Loco trays to fill with more coaches and wagons, every cloud etc.

Thanks again
