Hi everyone,
A relevant but perhaps unusual question for you all: have any idea for safe/proper storage of empty boxes?
I have the bulk of my collection (all of it minus freight cars and some odds/ends) finally going into display cases, which I'm extremely excited about, but now I am staring at a large pile of empty boxes on the floor. I have room up high on shelves in the garage to keep them, and was packing them into a few large cardboard outer boxes, but I thought I'd ask:
Is there a good/best practice for long term storage of boxes? Between cardboard and the plastic cradles I'd assume so, and am open to ideas. Silica packets appear an option, but they my be too small/not last long enough?
The garage is dry, enclosed, and in mild northern California climate, but not climate or humidity-controlled
Just curious if anyone has some good advice, -John

Hi John,
I keep mine in big plastic storage boxes that has proper clip on lid and then stacked away under the layout in my garage, which is insulated but not climate control. So far no issues.
All the boxes for tracks and solenoids etc. I have open completely open and flatten and then stacked in plastic storage boxes as well (the type that is not very tall), just in case I one day need to sell some of it.
Best Regards
