Many thanks Darren, I'm really glad that I found your entry, as it's a subject that has niggled me for some time. All of the solutions I'd identified were quite expensive, the best one being 'Park N Stack Model Railway Cases', but this was only a solution in 'N'. 00 was altogether more daunting.
Your use of foam board and felt is a brilliant solution, and it's worth knowing that some foams can react. Do I take it that the 'dense foam' has no such tendencies?
As I've added detailing parts to the peripheries of some 00 locos, I think I might be tempted to line the felt around the divider walls rather than just wrap each item in it, though I'm not sure that it would protect any better. It's just that many of these parts are just begging to be knocked off.

I would value your opinion on this.
Anyway, excellent solution, which I will adopt.
