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...

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!

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...

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...

New Atlas Cabooses Yesterday I received a couple of the new batch of Atlas' "Extended Vision" cabooses. They are a very nice model (mine are in D&RGW "Grande Gold", of course :D ), with tiny crisp lettering and fine details. The only thing that is a bit deceiving, in my opinion, are the...

I need a Rio Grande SD50 for my pike. :roll: But I'm not decided between the Athearn and the Proto2000 models, so I will welcome your opinions. The Proto2K one, have it the correct nose lights? (this is important) Which one have the orange paint closest to the prototype's Anschutz orange...

In the spanish RR forum that I frequent more, we have compiled a lot of pictures of ads that could be seen in Spain in different ages (Firestone, Cola-Cao, Pamplona-San Fermín, and so). They are in GIF and JPG formats, compressed into a ZIP file. The are in good size so you can print them to...

Hello friends. It's prototypical to run a consist with RailBox 50' Boxcars mixed with other «normal» (non-RailBox) cars? :confused: I have seen pics of consists «RailBox-only», but not remember to have seen then mixed.

Hello friends. I have located in "Pacific Western Rail Systems" some items that I want badly, but I have never done business with them. I don't know their "usual" way (if they claim to have in stock items that, really, they haven't available, and so on). :rolleyes: So, if someone of you...

I don't know if this as been already answered of if is a silly question, but better safe than sorry. If I use acrilic paints (Polly Scale), can I use as lacquer the Testors Dullcote? :confused: Or I should use the Polly finishers? I have heard about some lacquers attaccking non-enamel...

Browsing thru the Trainboard forum, I have found these «nice» vehicles adapted for the die-hard RR fan. I wanted to partage them with you. :D :D This one is for the UP buffs:

Hi Gaugers, I have heard very good things about the water-based Polly Scale acrilics, so I wanted to try them. The big "but" about it is that PS paints aren't sold in Spain, and I will be obliged to buy the colours without seeing it "live" in the hobby shop. :mad: I need a match for...

Hello Gaugers. A friend of mine have for sale real cheap a nice crane made by Roco like this (well, theirs is all-black, but its the same model). :D I know that the Rio Grande had a 250-Ton Bucyrus "Big Hook" very similar to the Roco model, and it came to my mind that I could easily...
