Yes, it can become tedious but, for me, it is worth the effort. This is particularly true when I'm building a set box for a lithographed train set. Many lithographed trains have a finish that can be damaged by storing them in any kind of wrapping or by storing them on their side. In those instances I make a box like the one illustrated and I build the box so everything sits in a vertical position. I don't wrap the set in anything and I cut the partitions so the car couplers are caught in a notch at either end of their respective cardboard storage spaces. This prevents the cars from moving.
