Reply to "BCW Storage Boxes Backordered"

Interesting.

My O-gauge passenger cars take up a lot of wall display shelf space ... each car ~19 inches long coupler end - to - coupler end.  These BCW boxes with 4 slots each would accommodate my 4-car passenger car sets very nicely and free up a bunch of display shelf space.  However, the longest BCW size I see on the site has internal slot length of only 17-5/8 inches ... https://www.bcwsupplies.com/50...storage-box-full-lid

Car body length is 17-1/2 inches.  Other ideas for storing multiple 19 inch passenger cars?

a) Perhaps remove the car vestibules and just cut holes in each end of box and let the couplers extend out the holes?  

b) Perhaps just cut off one end of box and let end of car stick out of box?

c)  Perhaps remove internal row walls in order to place cars inside angled enough to fit in 17-5/8 inch length of box?

d) Perhaps go with something like this filing box which has ample ~25 inch length, but no individual car slots and has excess height ... https://www.amazon.com/AmazonB...620319028&sr=8-9    Could just layer it with cardboard and put 2 or 3 sets of passenger cars in each box ... or ... cut down height to only accommodate one layer of 4 passenger cars.  So far, this appears to be best option out of the four options listed.  However, must buy pack of 12 boxes.  Likely can get one or 2 boxes somewhere else.

Other thoughts for 19 inch long passenger car storage?
