Ralf:

I can answer the "who-is-who" question (Arno on the left; Jasper on the right), but not any of the other questions. My book has been in the mail for the last three weeks. I imagine that the sailing ship is waiting for a berth at the port, and then the package will be transferred to the Pony Express for further progress toward Atlanta!!

But, in this hobby, we are accustomed to waiting to receive these types of deliveries, usually with smaller packages!!
