The box change should not be a negative in this comparison. More than one manufacturer has changed their packaging recently. I know for a fact that one other HO manufacturer actually tests their locomotive packaging by throwing models from a staircase onto a concrete floor, and they found that these plastic clamshells are better. The soft cushy foam you like so much is NOT good enough to survive some shipping. You actually DO NOT want the model to move around in the box--that's how they get broken.
