Brian,

I have used the new longer boxes from Athearn to store
Rivarossi Pullmans that I've got a meets without
boxes. I just ordered them direct from Athearn after
getting the part numbers from the on-line catalog.
Try going direct to Athearn.

LOL! I tried buying Athearn blue boxes from Walthers
recently; apparently,
Athearn has stopped selling the boxes separately.
Pity; the medium ones were
great for storing built up P2K diesels.

However, my point was that the box is (all things
considered) a minor
expense in the cost of a kit, compared to the CAD
work, CAM die cutting,
purchasing of injection molding equipment, payroll,
facilities, etc.

I was QUITE impressed by my visit to Intermountain's
facilities a few years
ago.

Brian,

Please let me know where to find the four-color,

glossy coated .03

boxes! I'd like to buy a bunch of them. <g>

I�d rather have the box anyway; less chance of

breakage in transit. And

what�s a box cost these days? $0.02 or $0.03?

Laurance,

Thank you for your comments.

I do have one question though. Would you still

buy the "bare bones" kit

if I told you the price would be no different

from a kit in a box with

a more formal set of instructions?

Marty
