How many expansion maps can fit in the Age of Steam base game box?

Pretty simple question for those who own Age of Steam (Eagle Gryphon deluxe version). How many additional map boards can the base box accommodate? (I say "map boards" since some boards have 2 maps, some have 3...)

For example if I buy the base game + Expansion Volume I, will that all fit? Or more, or fewer? I'm one of those people who likes to ditch expansion boxes and store things all in one box.

Thanks!

Note that some have different thicknesses - I have six in mine plus a some extra sheets with all the recommended player counts for my maps and a few extra paper maps (Alban Viard stuff before he went poster-boy, Northern California/1830's Pennsylvania, and Montréal Métro).

The original box was designed to fit all “Kickstarter maps” of the time. Expansion Volume I contains those maps plus Heavy Cardboard/Detroit Bankruptcy, and the latter does not fit into my box.

Okay, good to know. Thanks!

If I'm understanding correctly it's possible to buy the Expansion Volume I maps individually from the Eagle Gryphon website, so I might end up just buying those specific ones (without the HC/Detroit one), or just a couple, and call it good. I don't need a massive arsenal of maps.

We still have not played some of those maps, so I skipped on this year’s campaign.

Mine fits all the Kickstarter stuff plus the HC/DB map. There was the tiniest amount of lid lift, maybe.

Did you get the add-on Pittsburg map? If not, then the HC map would fit in it's place.

I've printed mine on microfiche and have stored 150.
