At BCW, we love it when hobbyists find uses for our products in ways we never envisioned. One great example comes from model train collectors. BCW has developed numerous corrugated boxes<\/a> designed to protect trading cards. In the hands of a model train collector, these boxes are perfect for storing and shipping miniature trains. Model trains come in several scales that fit nicely in the various sizes of BCW boxes, leaving just the right amount of space to add bubble wrap or tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John from The Virginia Foundry and Model Works<\/em> stated, \u201cI make and sell HO scale kits and ship them in your boxes. I have made literally hundreds of shipments in your boxes with not a single claim of any damage due to the box. \u2026 They\u2019re just great for this purpose and stand up admirably to any post office abuse. And many of my kits have been shipped overseas with the same excellent results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please measure your model trains to get the box that’s the correct dimensions for storing or shipping your models trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
