Thanks for the suggestions and the links, sadly the pre-made boxes aren't big enough for the bulky Heljan packaging which for a class 47 requires 350 x 130 x 70mm before any allowance for bubble wrapping. Looks like I'll have to go down the road of building my own - like the idea of freebie banana boxes from the supermarket - never thought of that one!

I have a collection of Heljan models (predominantly class 47s) to Ebay over the coming months and was wondering if anyone has found a suitable postage box to dispatch the models to their new owners in? Unlike Lima and Bachmann I haven't found anything which matches the dimensions of the Heljan class 47 boxes plus an allowance for bubble wrap. Last time I sold any I found a box which was sufficiently long and deep but rather wide in my then local post office which just about worked with a lot of bubble wrap and other packing materials. However since moving I cannot find anything suitable, either in post offices, office suppliers or searching online so wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
