Well, there's always the really solid option... <br /> <br />Army-Surplus (empty!) ammo boxes, should be available from assorted places and in various sizes. I use a .50 calibre box to store my Fleischmann N scale collection and it seems pretty good - very solid, waterproof in case of spills, protects the contents superbly. They come in assorted sizes and the larger ones are lockable by putting a padlock through holes in the latches. Just pack your stock into the original boxes then store these inside the ammo box - add some foam padding if necessary to stop them moving about if the box is inverted or tilted - what damages models is the sudden stop, so if they can't move in the first place this will prevent damage. Anyone attempting to damage one of these things will do themselves more injury than the box! Prices seem to vary - they will be more than plastic boxes but they are pretty much indestructible and far more secure. Hope this helps!
