    Warning! Credit Card scam.

    I have been following this issue since past week, and I feel that you should check your CC mouvements for fraudulent $29.99 charges ($19.99 and $39.99 have been reported also), because there are many people affected (mainly in the US). The thread is 36 pages long, just now...

    Merry Christmas, Gauge friends!

    ...and a prosperous New Year! I'm taking several days and going to pass this holidays «out of the world», in a hut in the mountains. No telephon, no TV, no computer..., only a couple of books, playing cards and the wife and me. :D There are several years that we wanted to do this, but some...

    Actual Radius for R1, R2 & R3

    Hello, Bongo Boy. :wave: Which is the manufacturer of your track? If I'm not wrong, the R2, R3, ... classification are a bit «manufacturer-dependant», so different brands may have slightly different radius for a same «Rx». For example, two european manufacturers (Roco and Fleischmann)...

    Roco

    If I'm not wrong, the S3/6 have the motor & traction wheels in the tender. Maybe adding weight to the tender can help this nice loco to climb your helix. However, it couldn't be an easy task because the tender, small as they are, may be full with shoehorned stuff (the motor & gears, the...

    Interesting pics of old mines & quarries

    I have found this site with lots of old pictures of mines and quarries. Some structures in these mines are interesting for modeling. http://libraryphoto.er.usgs.gov/mine.htm Just select the mine that you want to see ("Edna mine" and "Edna coal mine" for the D&RGW fans) and enjoy!

    Question for RioGrande (Red Caboose D&RGW gondolas)

    Thanks for the info, Jim. My interest window in the D&RGW don't have sharp frames. That is, I'm parcial to the motive power and rolling stock from 50's to late 60's but I don't dislike any earlier stuff nor more modern one (according to Eager's book, these gondolas were used until early 70's...

    Question for RioGrande (Red Caboose D&RGW gondolas)

    Hi, RioGrande. :wave: I'm been tempted by the Red Caboose' D&RGW GS Gondolas (I need put some to work hauling limestone from the "Glacier Gravel" mine!). :p :D They look very nice (in the RC website tiny pictures, though), but I don't know how prototypical they are. After checking the...

    Help for my 10-year-old's first mountain?

    I would avoid any edible stuff, because it will attract undesired "visitors" (AKA "bugs"). A friend of mine had a severe infestation of very tiny pests (less than 1mm long )in their layour, that spreaded to another points in the house. It was a REAL pain to get rid off (not to mention that...

    1st. September bills. Ouch!!

    Hi, friends. The obvious lessons in that are: "To live isn't cheap", and "Your spendings don't end after paying that thing; they have only started". ;) But, as I said, some of the best things in life are -apparently- free (well, having grandsons is not really "free", as Brakie have showed...

    Bogus BLI D&RGW reefers?

    Browsing in the BLI website I have found announced some GACX 53'6" Wood Express Reefer Cars, in various schemes. The thing that bugs me is that they will made three in D&RGW "pullman green", #s 1600, 1601 and 1602. Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't know that the D&RGW had any reefers (only...
