I was wondering how hot of a temperature trains can stand before it starts to make the plastic warp?  I have been buying trains and storing them in an attic above my garage.  I planned to start on a layout in the fall.  There is openings up there around the edge of the roof line for venting but when I go up the pull down stairs it seems like I'm walking into an oven. I have them stored in their original boxes in plastic totes. I was just wondering if anybody had some thoughts on this. Thanks

I don't know about inside but years ago I took some trains to a flea market and it turned bad.  When I set up it was very early in the morning and I put some plastic freight cars out on the table.  I never thought about then when the sun came out and as the day wore on guess what happened next.  Yep, some of the cars warped in the sun.  So, let that be a lesson to ya.
