And while we're at it, how about some generic storage boxes for trains.

I would be interested in the orange and blue boxes myself, along with boxes for accessories and locomotives. I have seen some even preprinted especially for 6464 boxcars. Any leads appreciated

All Lionel all the time.

Buy all new stuff, send me what's inside and keep the new boxes.

You can choose the boxes you need.

I think that could work.[:D]

try www.railpress.com...this gentleman sells the 'orange and blue' in batches of 25...the down side is they all have the same item number on the end flap....other than that they are great, they come flat shipped, quick and if i remember the price...it comes to about 22$ each batch of 25 plus shipping...he had two or three sizes when last i looked

use google for the corregated boxes...i didn't keep the name, but there are brown corregated boxes for zw's, and the bigger pieces with inserts, not original, but substantial and purpose serving

I believe the correct URL for East Coast Train Parts has two "t's" in the middle, as:
