Uline is a great source for storage boxes. They make a 200# box 8"x12"x28" that is perfect for Orange locomotive boxes (except for longer articulated ones for which they have VL Big Boy sized 9"x16"x31" I think). If Lionel used these instead of the paper thin shippers they use there would be fewer damaged boxes/locos I bet.
