I have kept my plastic cases for as much N-scale equipment as possible, and this policy has proven valuable, because much of my equipment is at thsi moment in storage. However, it can sometimes be difficult to match the box to its contents, and they are time consuming to load. So, for taking trains to shows (or to a club layout or for any other frequent-portability reason), I use a fishing tackle box that I found, which has drawers perfectly sized for N-scale. A surprising amount of cars and locos fit in this, but the key really is to get lucky and find a good one, one with drawers or trays just big enough for your stuff, without wasting space. One idea might be to cut out a block of wood equal in size to your average equipment, and then take that with you as you compare tackle boxes.
