Looks like Rooster used almost the same type of storage I did; although MINE was labeled RECYLING (Doesn’t that make me a better person???) (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif)Either way, the net result was the same…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
i don’t throw boxes!
i use them to sort junk/spare parts, figures and the like. or i cut them up for building materials.
Since I do all my own repairs I really do not need the boxes, however I do keep all my LGB red boxes. All the LGB toytrain, USA train, Aristocraft, HLW, Bachmann boxes are long gone.
I have a truss roof in my garage that is not supposed to support weight and is a perfect place to store these boxes.
When buying I do not really care if there is no box, keeps the cost down!!!
I have all my boxes in my shed up in the loft area.
It is a great place for ant nests … better there, that in the framing structures …
I do save all of my boxes for 2 reasons:
In Winter, I put them back in the boxes, put boxes on shelves.
After I kick the bucket, someone will get to liquidate my fortune, which will be easier to do with boxes.
The stuff I bought without boxes become displays.
I have all of my stuff stored in boxes. Right now I don’t have a railroad to run anything on, and it is an easier storage solution. Once I get to the point of being able to run trains again, the boxes will be pitched. Although, the idea of selling empty boxes is kind of appealing. Do I get a higher cost if I have the original cardboard sleeves that fit over the LGB boxes?
