I guess both storage boxes have their place. The WorkForce box is embossed for non-slip stacking, and its largest compartment holds an RCX. One box holds an entire 8480 Space Shuttle kit with some care in packing. Al Thiele (...) (25 years ago, 29-Aug-99, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.robotics)

The parts are train doors (L & R), 2x3 and 4x3 train windows, the glass to go with the windows and doors (these are separate #'s), and old-style sliding doors as in 7722 (I think) and accompanying track pieces. Color is unknown, at least to me, but (...) (25 years ago, 29-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
