Rifle Case

Another great train case is a rifle case, that is already lined with egg crate type of soft foam rubber. One of my friends from my local club got a plastic, foam lined rifle case for $10.00, it is big enough to hold over one dozen HO scale train cars, plus a couple of steam locomotives, and with the shape of the foam, nothing inside the case will ever move around while being transported.

Looks good for light rolling stock

DHfan, that seems like a very good idea for rolling stock.   An "Iris Scrapbook Case" -  thanks - there are so many craft boxes and most are the wrong depth.

At a large modular club meet every member had a different method of storage. Sitting on their wheels was most popular. They all worked.  Your is good, too.

Just don't rotate the box so  the contents are vertical. Tried that.  Failed.  Tried with locomotives.  Failed bigger.  Aluminum suitcase with egg crate foam and steam engines, pick up by the handle - fail - and then solder back on brass bits that snagged in the foam.  it is so tempting to pick up by the handle and everything slides down.

These are the ones Spring

These are the ones Spring Mill Depot sells; I picked up few of them.  You have to lay models on their sides but they hold a lot and do include sheet plastic as well.  They are $10 each - can't beat that for the price.

IKEA staging

I'm using an IKEA cabinet:

I inserted anti-slip mats to prevent the cars from shifting when opening and closing the drawers.

For long term storage, I've

For long term storage, I've been just storing my rolling stock in their original boxes; if I want to sell any, it helps resale too.  I am using just cheap 6 foot tall bookshelves or 2nd hand wire racks to store the models in their boxes.  It's either that or on the layout on staging tracks when the layout gets built.  I got ones like this (below) for about $10-15 each and you can store a lot of trains on them:

But for portability, some sort of box works best.  The Spring Mill Depot boxes can hold a lot. There is another system that you can store rolling stock up-right on their wheels.  If I find it I'll post that too.

storage question regarding foam

I've been looking at various plastic cases for n scale storage. Everything I've been reading says to avoid using foam in the cases because it can pull off decals and markings. Has anybody noticed this effect with foam on their models?

Thanks 

Not so far.  The Spring Mill

Not so far.  The Spring Mill Depot have foam but also plastic sheeting which can be placed between the model and the foam if one wanted to.  If you follow the link, they address the concern with foam and details, but no mention of decals and I have never heard of that myself.
