Part organizers - tomustang - 01-19-2013 What do you use? I find that when I buy a couple utility boxes they get discontinued I'm about to just use Plano Pro Latch 3700 series fishing boxes since they can be had for around $5 Re: Part organizers - Catt - 06-01-2013 I used to buy the Plano 3700 series for storing my N scale cars and locos(24 forty to sixty foot cars..Don't know if you have a Harbor Freight near you but they have their version for $3.00 .This one due to a built in handle only holds 23 cars/locos. :mrgreen: Re: Part organizers - Sumpter250 - 06-01-2013 Lunch meat: Ham, Roast beef, Chicken, Turkey, come in clear plastic resealable containers. Parts, Pieces, scrap styrene, stained wood ties, scenery material, decals, couplers, ________ etc., all get stored in the containers after "lunch" Re: Part organizers - ezdays - 06-01-2013 If you buy those individual portions of Jello, pudding or apple sauce, those come in really handy for holding parts and they're stackable. Another thing I use, when we get Chinese take-out, they always put a couple of small containers of sweet and sour sauce with them. The have removable lids and are great for storing anything you want that needs a lid on, including some recently mixed paint or small parts that could spill out.

I found one small problem with the plastic 35mm film containers.....the adhesive on the self stick labels, eventually "lets go" and the labels fall off the containers. :o :o Re: Part organizers - BR60103 - 06-02-2013 I was picking up all sorts of them before we moved. Lots of dollar store ones, now full of unsorted screws from the layout. Home Depot had a sale on ones that latched together and were big enough for O scale cars and some G figures. When you see some you like, buy loads because they won't be there next year. |
