Tim-Hale Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi, I doubt if I am the only modeller who has bought a loco, only to discover that the original box was not supplied, my best guess is that the loco was part of a set. However, a good quality box is needed just for this rather old, obsolete loco. Trawling ebay isn't particularly helpful unless seeking a container for jewellery as none mention internal dimensions ( LWD 7"x2"x2") Any suggestions, gratefully received. Thank you Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 For 4mm scale tank engines (up to 4 axle), try Ikea Glis boxes. For tender locos, I have used some 1.5 litre pencil boxes that have been available at about £3-50 in Hobbycraft. For both, line with some foam sheet and wrap the loco in fabric - something like a life expired T shirt from which the colour has virtually washed out or, failing that, Hobbycraft white felt. Best wishes Eric 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
