    Filling in for the Big Man, McGormo strikes again.

    I needed to empty Victoria Road, to allow electrical / automation work to start, and needed somewhere to store my stock. Not wanting to go into the loft to drag out all the boxes, I came up with these.

    So here is a very short video on how they were made.

    Nice one McGormo.

    Quite flexible as well to suit any stock really. :tophat:

    Great video Paul
    For our Australian members "really useful boxes" are available exclusively from Masters Home improvements.

    I use and trust these with my O scale stock (much bigger ones 33L and 50L they are a far superior build quality to the other Crapy boxes sold at other places.
    Strong, stackable, positive locking for the lids.
    I believe that they are actually made in the UK not China

    Lost of sizes
    This is only 1/2 of the boxes available

    Yes I would agree with you Chris. I use these as well, much stronger and the lids fit nice and tight. Very useful flyer on the range :thumbs:

    Not wishing to sound like an advert, but pick the box size range correctly, and the boxes will fit in the Drawer holders. For example, the 4 litre box will fit in the 7 litre drawer

    They are made in the UK, so take advantage of the low pound while you can.

    Not sure about the scouring pads ... the other 5/8ths keeps a tight reign on them ... I'm only allowed 1 a fortnight. Good idea/video though Paul so promote yourself to station porter and get get a cap.
