Not sure if it is an option at all post offices, but when I signed up for a PO box recently I opted in for the (free) option of "street address"...
The only thing to add to this is that Unimates are now handled by Red Caboose/Intermountain. They were originally a Precision Masters product,...
Some months it's good, some months not so much. The best times are when someone is there in "flea market" mode, selling a personal collection....
Spookshow gives them an "A": Bachmann Spectrum (China) Peter Witt Streetcar
