    I cannot think of one specific to HOn3. It is possible something exists, or was done in the past. Could you adapt an HO version?

    There is a company called "Spring Mills Depot" that has a basic storage box you customize with various bits of foam strips and sheets. The basic box starts at $10 but the price quickly goes up if you buy their foam for spacers and sheets for thickness.

    I have one I got at the Timonium show in Maryland. Not bad but not super fantastic, either.

    i have not seen a narrow gauge specific carry case that is mass produced. would a N-scale card board carry / storage box work??
    if you have a (even cheep) table saw, you can cut a sheet of thin plywood into strips for the box of a wooden carry box. i need to make a couple more for my rolling stock and power units. been in card board boxes for way too long.
    sorry no plans for such just built as needed. this is a old school thing.
    maybe when i build will do a write-up for making them? photos included? maybe i can pay a young school girl to hold the items for the photos? or would that be kiddy porn these days?
