Wandering the Wal-mart aisles this week, I was looking at the left-over Christmas storage bins, and noticed this fairly large, flat case, used to store Christmas tree ball ornaments in compartments. It has dividers for 4 long compartments, and I decided to buy one to see if it would fit my Lionel O gauge items. Took it home, and got my Polar Express set out of the cardboard boxes I had them in, and they fit nicely! 
Will put some padding in them as well, but I got all 3 cars, the engine, and the tender by turning sideways, in the bin. The lid has a rather weak fastening design, but I can work with it, either with some screws or straps. But at least it's out of cardboard, and I can see the train inside through the lid. Check it out -
I bought a second one today, I may buy a few more, they're $8.36 here in Virginia. Pretty decent I think.

I am not ready for this.
