RSS Fetcher Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 My usual stock storage boxes are formed from box files with foam inserts, with one box holding a single rake of stock. Annoyingly these will only hold 6 Mk3 coaches, meaning that a rake of Mk3s has to be split over 2 boxes. Yesterday I found a great solution which best of all was free! Wine crates. Best of all they come full of wine (though sadly you have to pay for that bit!) The crates that I am using (6 bottle), will each hold 2 full HST rakes of 8 Mk3s and a pair of powercars lieing flat on their side, the width is just a a small fraction wider than a Kaydee fitted mk3 (so there is enough room to get the coach in, but no room for it to move about. I plan on adding a foam covering to the floor/ends (the stuff Bachmann locos used to be wrapped in) along with card dividers between the coaches, along with a second floor so that I can have a base for the 2nd rake to sit on. Other than that the only modification I plan on making is to fit a set of hinges to the original lid, and reglue the sides into position (given that they are bowing out slightly) View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
