I have been picked by German customs at Leipzig airport. Trainworld shipped an engine with DHL express as usual. That "should" be within 24 hours at my doorstep.
Bad mistake is they put the shipping cost (about $40) not on the invoice attached to the parcel. Customs complained and I had to supply proof of total cost. No big problem as the total amount was already on my credit card bill and I hoped the parcel will proceed the same day.
Big Mistake, they assume I tried some tax fraud and put the parcel in the loooooong line of parcels for in depth inspection. That is where it sits since Sunday and nobody knows when they will do the inspection :oops:

ps. Ignore the detail text of the last event on Monday, it is misleading. I am in constant contact with DHL at the airport.
