See this video from Roco: One advantage may be that models can now be stored with the additional user mounted parts added. Regards Mike C

Also it seems that it is reserved for high end models where it can be used as an exhibition vitrine. I have it on 3 locos and others from the same timeline have the standard packaging we are used to.
