I checked online but found no box having it It’s just something I like adding to my sets Thank you all and happy holidays

There was one listing on Ricardo which featured some kind of protection, but it did not look like normal liners. https://www.ricardo.ch/f...ovp-7000-stk-1256233944/ This one from Austria (eBay) had some plastic sheets, but once again not original Maerklin: https://www.ebay.at/itm/197603337497? I guess that you could put some lining material, but I am guessing that Maerklin chose not to probably to protect the roof details like the horns and the bells. The 3741 Dutch TEE model had a hard plastic cradle with a plastic lid and some listings show the model with felt and others do not. Regards Mike C
