Thanks, Nutbar!
I hope for good progress with this model equipped with a decoder.
In moment there is a bigger problem. I sent five TCS decoders (three from me) for an upgrade to version 4 to TCS and they did a fast job. Since ten days now the decoders are on way back to Germany but they were stopped in Frankfurt for custom clearing - and now the are on way back to USA, yesterday the arrived in Chicago International airport again. I'looking forward to next steps of their moving, maybe back to TCS? I would be very happy to see them back on my worktable in next time!
Cheers, Bernd

I've had a somewhat similar problem with several issues of my subscription to Railroad Model Craftsman. They arrived roughly a month late, and all were postmarked Frankfurt, even though they're originally sent out of Colorado. Perhaps Frankfurt has become the Bermuda Triangle of the postal system?
Excellent work, by the way, on that locomotive. I've seen the one running at Strasburg, but can't seem to locate my photos of it. A very nicely-done restoration of an unusual locomotive.

That is very unusual. Customs at Frankfurt airport is usually totally overloaded and adds no added value to my parcels. They are all unprocessed forwarded to my local customs office in Boeblingen for handling. They sind a "paper" letter to get me there to do paperwork and pick the parcel up.
Only customs at Leipzig airports (handling DHL express) likes to put my parcels on hold if the customs declaration is not (very) fully correct. The local DHL office is very helpful to get things done but the "express" is spoiled until thinks are clarified.
