Mike G Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 A few years back, well actually a good few years back, I was able to purchase stock boxes for the coaching stock that I had built, they look like this. I've had a really good look on the web, without success...would anyone have any ideas, something similar would be really great. I have another 7 Comet coaches to build - all the parts bought separately and at different times - without Geoff's usual box to keep them safe once built and painted. Any help greatly appreciated by me and the stock! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted June 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've found in the past that K&M will deal at shows, I've bought 4 of the long ones for a tenner before, they normally charge £11 according to their website. http://www.madabouttrains.co.uk/products.html reminds me, I could do with some more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 At least the eBay site gives sizes of box too, the other two seem to suggest small, medium and large are standard units of measurement unless i've missed something.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
