They make all sorts of storage cartons, many for trading cards. They are ideal for storing and transporting locomotives & rolling stock They also offer foam inserts to keep everything in place.
My personal recommendation is their super shoe storage box (3000 Ct). It will hold 3 items, is deep enough for higher items and 2 or 3 will fit into a plastic storage bin.
Richard: I searched, but could not find anything about the foam inserts. I like this idea, though. This is closest to what I was picturing in my mind.
