Yes, Jon. I remember my childhood, when car-traveling with my parents and seing this enormous bulls standing in choosen points. :eek: They are pretty imposing landmarks, a powerful sight silhouetted against the landscape. :cool: After the years, they have becomed a sort of symbol of Spain...

Hi, Ricardo. What ads were used at the borders with Portugal? Let me know and maybe I can find some. Here you can see some other ads for «Cola-Cao»: http://www.teacuerdas.com/nostalgia-publi-colacao.htm The «Osborne» Bull is a well know icon in Spain (it was also used in Mexico) but...

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...

Opps! I'm a bit late! :oops: Happy Birthday, friends! :thumb:

Thanks for the clarifications, gentlemen. :) These cars are very colourful, but I think that having more than three or four in my layout at one time would be too much yellow joined! :p

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.

Ricardo, these are sad news, certainly :( I can be wrong but, wasn't some big locomotive shops in Barreiro? Maybe they can maintain them busy. P.S. Do you have some pics of Barreiro RR facilities?

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...

Hi, jkristia! CN1 asked about people modelling french trains, I replied and... (and we've gone kinda off-topic, I'm afraid). :rolleyes: If you're interested, in the links that I've posted you can see pics of many actual spanish H0 models. (Of course, nobody intended to be rude with the...

Oui, c'est en H0. Roco a fait un beau model. :cool: Comme vous savez déjà, les modelles européennes sont beaucoup plus chères que ses équivalents américaines. :cry: Le plus bonne-marché que j'ai trouvé por cette locomotive c'est 120,00€ pour la locomotive "normal" et 165,00€ pour celle-ci...

¡Hola, CN1! :wave: Pendant beaucoup d'années, il n'y avez pas beaucoup de materiel espagnol en H0 (seulement Electrotren), mais aujourd'hui ça c'est different! :D J'ai des Talgos III et «Pendular 200» -comme le Amtrak Cascades- (Electrotren), des electriques Alshthom 276 et Siemens 252...

Mes premières "sérieux" locomotives furent deux electriques françaises du marque «Jouef»! Ça fut il y a beaucoup de temps, plus de 30 ans (mon Dieu, comme je me sens vieil!). Je les garde encore (de la nostalgie, vous savez...). :rolleyes: Aujourd'hui je fais seulement du train américain...

I usually discard the kit boxes after cutting the picture or image that shows the built structure (all my kits are structures, not cars), and save all RTR cars and locomotive original boxes. I pile orderly the boxes into bigger cardboard ones and then I put these into big plastic garbage bags...

Oh! (2nd. time today) :( Just I have read the Charlie's farewell post and I stump into this other. :cry: Two great people are leaving the Gauge... Sure that all of us will miss them. :( Paul, I want thank you for the effort and good things that you have bring to this forum. I wish you...

Oh! :( Others have said better han I'm able to do. You'll be missed, Charlie. :( :( :( I wish you the best luck in your new path. ¡Adiós, y buena suerte, Charlie! :wave:

Happy Birthday, Ray! :thumb:

Wow! Real or fiction, this is a good story! :thumb: I remember to have heard some other weird -but real- stories about boxcar thefts in the 70's. They were involved the Penn Central -in the role of «victim»- and a company called Lasalle & Bureau County RR (or something like this)...

David... Humm, I see... So 2-56 stands for 56 threads per inch, but what unit is the "2"? millimeters? inch fractions? (BTW, in my first post, I wrote "56-2". Sure that this is a really weird screw!! :eek: What a "typo" I made!! :rolleyes: ) Rats! So I'm still without a good table...

¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Mike! :thumb: :thumb:

Used to metric measures, I always struggle when find references to inches and so, having to resource to the calculator. :rolleyes: But if we are speaking about #s of screws, drills, and so, I'm completely lost! What is a tap 56-2? :confused: How many millimeters are a drill #50...
