If this thread isn't already long enough at 7 pages, there was only 99 posts so decided it was time to break out with 100th! The Maxi sets come in a LONG (tall) package: The problem with most packages with blow-mold trays is the package end-closure flap doesn't go in (easily) when attached to the top of the package. You have to negotiate getting the flap's edge to go under the white tray's outward edge ! Märklin also suffers from this too. If the end-closure flap were folded up from the bottom and pressed into the package, it freely enters of the tray's upper rounded edge. To make the bottom entry work, I trim off the flat outward 'flare'so it is just straight down. About the thickness of a credit card. Now it slips in easy ! How did you fit the containers into the plastic mold? The latest AZL 40' containers don't fit at all. Bogdan |

So, have we seen the last of the First Run of Maxi-I's? I sort of expected the "Old TTX Logo" run to be from the 750nnn-751nnn grouping. The numbers released fall in with your first SP/TT release, and for the most part represent a bunch of patched cars from various sources. No big deal to renumber them or just ignore it, but just curious. Just thought a six-digit number would be a nice contrast from the patched SP car.
I scraped and scratched and clawed and dug out change from the couch and managed to pick up seven sets of the Maxi-I's which is probably about the max (no pun intended) number for me. (1x TTX/SP, 1x BNSF Swoosh, 1x Maersk, 2x BNSF Circle, 2x TTX Old) If I buy more it would be possibly one Railbridge and 1 or 2 more TTX. But no more until a layout gets further along. If more TTX are forthcoming, I would sell off one of the most recent run.
