I have a bunch of little boys and over the years we have accumulated a lot of train sets/set parts. Our toys are pretty organized in cube storage but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to store all the pieces for the train set. Right now it’s all just dumped in a huge cardboard box but it’s really heavy to take off and on the shelf and they also spill out the entire thing looking for a tiny piece and then there are little pieces and trains everywhere. OTOH they do sometimes use allll the pieces and make huge sets so I don’t want to get rid of some… Does anyone have any genius solutions?

Divide the current box into 5 or five smaller boxes according to piece type. Train cars in one box
Tracks in another
Accessories in another. It makes it more exciting too!

I have tracks in a big canvas box and trains/accessories in a plastic container with lid.
Girl only family but I love train sets
