Re: Causing Trouble On The Railfan Site

Whew !, you pointed me to this site when I innocently inquired about utilizing coal to make diesel. Well I found answers and more questions. I had a thought which I figure you would be able to answer for me. Supposing that a modern steam - electric engine were manufactured would it need to be shut d...

Re: Alaska Adventure

Good map but so many resources, that I too hit gold in 15 years. A map so big and and detailed deserves some hours of play, not just a quicky game. I look forward to playing it when you have tweaked it a little.

Re: Hi

Thanks for the welcome its nice to be here, although I seem to be having a problem. I started reading the forums and then following up on some of the things I read and now I seem to be playing less, and the whole idea was to find new goodies so I could play more !!

Re: Global Warming

Phew !, I came online to look for a little insight into a scenario I am playing and then spent an hour reading and following links on global warming. Talk about digressing.

Re: Hi

I can see that there is lots of content concerning RRT but its its so novel to see a forum where people seem to have actual discussions instead of rants. Its a little unsettling, you people seem to be able to amicably hold differing opinions.http://hawkdawg.com/forums/posting.php?mode=reply&f=51...
