When was your last Athearn kit?

[doctorwayne]

Wayne, I have a Merchants Despatch Reefer that was a wood kit. Seeing yours, I now have to figure out where mine is. I suspect it's in one of the "multipack" boxes I build for ease of transport.

I know what you mean about stuff "going missing". Because I buy lots of used rolling stock with no boxes, and also scratchbuild a few cars, I'm always scrounging for boxes to use in my "staging yard storage area"

Most gondolas, and flatcars, along with some hoppers are stored two-to-a-box, while the majority of hoppers are four-to-a-box, using Athearn passenger car boxes. Not too much is in its original box, either. Locos (rarely stored), passenger cars, and MoW equipment is all stored in custom-built trays in covered fruit boxes like the Mountain Goat pear boxes seen beneath the layout here:

Too bad I'm not modelling Great Northern.
