Boxes, and more boxes.

Greetings again.

Thus far in my MRR career, I have ben saving the boxes that locos and rolling stock are purchased in. I am starting to amass quite a stack. Is there a good reason to save these (particularly the ones for equipment that never leaves the layout), or is this not crucial, or is this a purely personal decision?

All thoughts welcomed.

I save my boxes to, But I save them purely for the purpose of protected model transport. Saving the box is purely a personal matter.

If you ever decide to sell the pricey items some buyers like to have the box. I find this true when I sell back
to our second hand hobby shop or if you sell on e-bay

Also if you ever have to return the loco for service.

Word of Advice:
KEEP THE BOXES.

Save the box… If you ever decide to sell anything it is ALLWAYS worth more in it’s original box. Especially brass.
