Making Preparations for Layout Building - Holloway Goods

After looking around for toolboxes, I have bought one very similar to the one used in the Toolbox Layout blog, it might even be the same design? A link to which is shown below.

I need to take the layout, to the model railway club, using public transport, and hence the toolbox format being so useful.The available layout space is 520mm (Length) x 220mm (Height) x 180mm (Width). As show from my planning this should be large enough for an interesting layout, scenic section. The fiddleyard, i.e. the hidden sidings will be extra and will be constructed as a folding unit, to be carried in some sort of bag.

The photo below shows the boxes, in the bottom of the toolbox. The space above is the space available for the scenic section of the Holloway Goods layout.

The intention is to use these sandwich boxes to hold some stock, small modelling tools, current models and modelling materials, to know where they are and so that they don't get damaged in transit. I'm in two minds whether or not to provide some form of fixing to stop them moving about in transit? That a question for future consideration.
