Our company buys a lot of SFPs (small form-factor pluggable) modules for our equipment. Yesterday one of our techs asked if I had any use for the packaging. The light went on pretty quickly. Organized, secured, easy to view, and fairly compact. No need to label as you can see what module from the top.

Not fair Marty, you are way ahead of Lionel!!
Very nice.
Nice MARTY, beats my tin can.
Marty, first the sensor track for Atlas O, now this, well on your way to CDO Chief Design Officer for Lionel. Also with grass that green, you must get a lot of sun on your side of the hill in Pittsburgh, I have an inch of snow this morning on mine.

I bet someone could market that 
nice idea
Brilliant Ideal Marty! I have that packaging in my cubical at work for SFP's. Next time I finish using one I will have to bring it home. Thanks for sharing! Ken
I am going to see how many I can round up before York. Perhaps I'll pick names out of a hat and give them away.

Great idea and very generous gesture
Well they are nothing fancy. Just a static plastic packaging but if you're like me once you load them you rarely use them again. This keeps them all together and easily seen. I also believe they are stack-able.
It works so if others can benefit from it by all means I'll share the wealth.
Marty,
It keeps them together rather than loose (=lost!) or having to un pack and dig them out of the box if you need them for some reason. Great solution.
I keep my modules in their box and I am not sure why?
Well one of our club members Charlie had a great solution as well...

Marty, bring them to York, you can make a killing on module organizers.

Put my name in the hat, unless you have to be at York to claim it.

Funny thing, I happen to be going to the LUG meeting.

Beats using a baggy
Marty, great idea to re-purpose packaging for the modules.
Funny, I can now picture groups of legacy users dumpster diving for that just right clam-shell packaging find. Then reporting their "score" on the forum.
In all seriousness, what you displayed was a creative and great application for those with a library of modules.

Thanks MartyE. I don't have very many right now, but I've fallen for Legacy thanks to the VL BB, so I plan on growing my collect. So if you run out, I still have time to find one before I need it.
Marty,
Always enjoy your posts on Legacy. I've learned a lot by just reading the threads.
Keep up the good work and it's great to see such a positive impact on our hobby.
