I can see why these boxes would be hard to find as the covers cardboard is so thin and flimsy. Nice set though, good find Vio
Every time I had received slope rails this old style the plastic was so brittle that the male end connectors broke and I have also had them where the female ends also broke.
Piers are needed on the upper end on these if one wants to span longer distances with straight rails so the built in risers don't help over the modern ones except eliminating one pier when connecting 2 slopes together. Always wished they would have had built in nubs to support a straight rail without adding any piers.
