Oh yeah, it's not always very consistent, but with an Amazon order last month, they were supposed to drop things off on three consecutive days, so I got A BUNCH of phone calls from them that week, not much in the way of other types of notifications from them through.

 

I gave a blanket signature release to my DHL driver though I am usually here when he comes.  I also always respond to the text they send that morning asking if I want to give a signature release.  That way I never miss a DHL from Amazon :)

The GreenMax sign kit looks like a total pain in the butt of attaching many little stickers, but I probably don't need all of them... Just good to have ones available that I need :) 

 

 

The sign kit is a bit of a pain, the stickers are kind of weird too, you may want to paint the signpost white or silver and then paint under where your putting the sticker the color of the sign otherwise the color looks off (the sticker isn't opaque enough).

This happens to me too!  I think when they have one package to deliver to an address the system tells them if there are anymore parcels. It would save repeat trips to the same address.  Many times the shipping dates are nowhere near the same.

I've been looking at one on eBay at a very reasonable price but I've spent my allocation for the time being it seems! Decided your only here once so have placed buy on it!

Box #1 - Part 1: Greenmax 6-car Tobu 30000 kit to be harvested for parts, since it was an old unpainted kit, the painting isn't exactly good, but some cars are better than others, so one or two might survive intact.

Inside of the Kato box is a Greenmax 10-car Tobu 10030 set.

Box #1 - Part 2: Inside of the second Kato box is a powered 4-car Tobu 10030 set, along with a bonus 2-car Tobu 10000 end cars. My original plan was to switch the roofs on the two 10000-series cars with the roofs of the end cars on the Greenmax 10030 set, to basically make a fake 10000-series set, but then I realized how different the air conditioners on the different sets are. (I still might just do it anyways!)

Package #2 - "The slightly more expensive package": A Microace Tobu 9000-series full 10-car set! This was a pain in the butt to get, like, a huge pain, they don't seem to come up for auction very often, just horribly expensive 'Buy-it-now' items, so when I saw these two auctions I knew I had to waste some money on them!

Package #3 - "THE REALLY EXPENSIVE PACKAGE!!!": This was my first package from Zenmarket using DHL, which was indeed incredibly quick! I guess I went all out on these subway sets, and I'm glad I did, so I'll post some pictures of these three (Tokyo Metro 13000-series, Tobu 70000-series, and Tobu 20050-series.)

100% blown away by the Microace Tobu 9000-series set, just the coloration on it is amazing! Plus it has a green roof which was totally unexpected!

With all those Tobu trains, are you aware the Greenmax 2130 station (formerly Greenmax 27) is based on the Tobu Tojo Line Shimo Itabashi Station?  It is the third station from Ikebukuro.

You know, I'd love to pick up that kit, I just haven't been able to find one for a decent price. The only one I found awhile back was on Amazon US for around $25, but if they still have it and I can find matching Greenmax platforms somewhere, I'll totally get it!

Two new arrivals from Loco1hobby. I had to file down the top of the bogies of the kato dd51 to make it round my hidden R=228mm loops. As it sits very low on its bogies the removed areas are not visible. The centre bogie is not the limiting factor, only the rotational play of the driven bogies..

Can you please share any more details on the magazine please (title, publisher, edition or month and year)?

 

That freight guide looks awesome. Many thanks.
