Thanks, Larry. Thats a good story. :) My grandad used to tell me their experiences as fireman in the steam times. I always loved these RR memories.

Rusty, I'm afraid that Hobby Circle is not «clean wheat», as we say in Spain. Another people have had bad experiences with these guys: http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1613 Two years ago I contacted them regarding some RR stuff that they had posted in their website. They...

Hi Jon, THANKS!!! Is a perfect-match! It's fantastic! (BTW, I feel a bit clumsy: I have searched EVERYWHERE pictures of this d**n crane). :oops: :rolleyes: Well, well, well. :D IF both sides are the same, I should re-work the doors and little more. A paint job, some decals, and presto! :p...

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...

Good luck with your modelling, Tyson, and come back soon! :thumb: :D

Happy Birthday, Ricardo! ¡Feliz Cumpleaños! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Rusty, a month ago, I read something about the Walthers ADM elevator in the Atlas forum. It seems that other people are having trouble with it. I have searched the thread: http://forum.atlasrr.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41708 I hope that you can find some helpful advice there. PS. You...

I have reserved the BLI D&RGW passenger cars for the California Zephyr. They will come next Christmas and, until then, better I save enough $$$ for pay them! :eek: (well, I will only indulge the new Atlas D&RGW cabeese, due in July) :rolleyes: :D

Too bad. I liked these Hornby "Mallard" locos in blue livery. :cry: Well... thanks to software manufacturers, actually you need to replace your computer so frequently, that, finally, you will barely notice the O.S. (sigh!) :rolleyes: I would be surprised if, "after 8 pints of cheap lager"...

Hum, hum! I'm off some days and, what I found when I came back? :rolleyes: SACRILEGE!!!! :curse: :curse: :curse: Sir Neil, I hope that you accept to be converted inmediatly to the "H0 cult", or, as english (scottish?) gentleman, be prepared to dueling to death. :mad: The mainstream...

Hey, David. Your comments encourage this model manufacturer-orphaned! :D If only they could do these nice english steamers in H0, instead of the "weirdo" OO :rolleyes: We will wait and see. Yeah. This days, the chinese may be doing the model trains (and other things) for the 90% of the...

Hello, neilmunck Well, I hope so that they don't "milk" the company. The thing hat worries me is that they seem to be too much interested in the slot thing. We will see. GLUPS!!! :eek: :eek: The Electrotren prices are already "luxury" ones! The last Electrotren loco that I purchased...

The link about the takeover Here is the link to the takeover news in Hornby: http://www.hornbyrailways.com/pages/nws_det_press.aspx?NewsItemID=331 According to Hornby, "This will provide a platform to increase our sales of slot racing products in Spain, spearheaded by our recently...

The news here is that Electrotren (the 1st. spanish model train manufacturer) has been bought by the english Hornby Hobbies. :eek: That has caused a storm in a teapot in the spanish model world. Some are afraid that Hornby is more interested in the slot-car that in trains. :eek: I have...

Am-Trash?

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Thanks, Chris, for these pictures. We usually forgot that, behind the news or the politics, there are human beings with families, friends, feelings... Human beings like us.

Jon, I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I hope that she will be OK soon. My best wishes for both of you.

Thanks friends. Now, several voices are pointing to AlQuaeda, but there is nothing clear yet, because there are political issues involved (we are in campaign, and extreme-left parties try to erode the government by showing this massacre as being caused for the spanish supporting of Bush about...

Thanks for the words, friends. Well, my rant against the CNN "style book" was born of the impotence. The first thing that came to my mind when I readed the CNN headers was: "If tomorrow, a lunatic "world-fixer" bombed hundreds of people in the sake of peace, this guys of CNN would call him...

More than 130 people killed, hundreds of wounded, according to some media: http://www.diariovasco.com/edicion/portada.html My God, my God...
