What do you use?

I find that when I buy a couple utility boxes they get discontinued 35

I'm about to just use Plano Pro Latch 3700 series fishing boxes since they can be had for around $5

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. Eek :mrgreen:

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.

Film cans. I was smart to save a bunch before I bought my digital camera three years ago.

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

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.
