Storage Boxes

 

Simply dropping model trains loose into a big box is not an acceptable method of storage. Neither is putting them into a drawer in your kitchen or into a toolbox in the garage. Model trains, while seemingly hardy items, are actually susceptible to damage from being jostled around, can lose their integrity if stored in a damp place and can even sustain ink damage to the painted surface if stored wrapped in newspaper.

The best way to care for your model trains is one of our model train storage boxes like our 10-drawer Loco Storage Box for N Gauge trains. Fashioned from durable 3mm MDF the drawers in our Loco Storage Box can be adjusted to match the length of your locomotive or coach so that it is held firmly at all times.

 

Why Proper Storage Matters for Model Trains

Model trains are built with precision, from delicate paintwork to intricate mechanical components. While they may seem sturdy, improper storage can lead to unexpected damage. Paint can fade or transfer if pressed against unsuitable materials, and exposure to humidity can warp fine details over time.

Placing models in a cluttered box or on an open shelf increases the risk of dust buildup, accidental drops, and even minor knocks that could impact their function. The best way to keep trains protected is by using dedicated model train storage boxes designed specifically for long-term storage. Properly securing gauge trains in a drawer system helps maintain their dimensions and ensures they remain in presentable condition for years to come.
