RgsRR.info - it's back!!

Sat, 2015-11-07 08:45 — rgs_info
For anyone who's enjoyed the thousands of photo links, extensive RGS history and details, and links to related topics on my website - it's now back.
 

The old address of 'rgsrr.info' is working again, and a second URL actually works as well - http://www.rgsrr.com
 

Either will get you to the site.

If any of you were using, or have links on your sites to the old 'base' address of 'rgsrr.home.comcast.net' - please update it to 'rgsrr.info'.  Thanks!!!

Tier 4 Engines

Mon, 2015-11-02 06:20 — ckeefer58

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, since I'm kind of new here, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it would be possible to upgrade a standard EMD 645 to tier 4 standards. I am planning a freelanced modern shortline running rebuilt EMD power. One of my options is swapping all prime movers for new Cummins units that meet tier 4 regulations as part of my storyline. This presents a problem however when it comes to selecting a decoder for sound.

BNSF 487379

Sun, 2015-11-01 15:08 — steamfan1211

I recently photographed this car in a BNSF train at Monolith, CA. Could someone please tell me if this is a one off paint scheme? I see Athearn makes a model of the car but there numbering series does not match. Any information appreciated.

Thank you

RGSrr.info site moving - new URL soon!

Sat, 2015-10-31 06:29 — rgs_info
Howdy.

I know a lot of you have found my RGS site useful.  Comcast has thoughtfully discontinued all of their website support, so I'm moving to a new server.
 

Eventually, both rgsrr.info and the (new!) rgsrr.com will work and get you to the site, but for the moment it seems the Comcast-hosted site is down.
 

I hope to have my site back up this week.

Thanks everyone!!!

Overhang over tracks

Fri, 2015-10-30 10:39 — Chuck P

Thinking back to 1960s-80s railroading and clearances, I'm wondering if 22' over the railhead would be too low for a roof. I've realized that one of the places I was considering a building would put the roof overhang just over the track (22' over the railhead). The roof is fairly large and the building itself is far enough away from the tracks. Track is a shortline mainline with mainly 4750-type hopper traffic.

I'm looking for a realistic answer as opposed to "you can do it on your railroad" answer. Thanks.

Diesel notching and loco speed control

Thu, 2015-10-29 16:34 — ErieMan47

I know there are some folks on this forum that operate real diesel electric locos.  I am puzzled by exactly how the speed of a diesel electric loco pulling a train is controlled and I haven't been able to find any information to clear up my confusion.
