Re: Interesting surcharge for DCS tether cord

I doubt that a telephone handset cord's very incidental use as a tether for a DCS remote is going to qualify it as a toy or toy train related. The one you wanted had a surcharge because it had a tariff. But the others did not.? Are they all the same except the color ? What is the difference between...

Re: Interesting surcharge for DCS tether cord

In several areas the tariffs don't actually exist presently. So the surcharge is a scam to raise the prices. :wink: :mrgreen: Do you know that this item is not covered by one of the tariff areas? I bought a new grate for one of my fireplaces today - only about 150% more expensive over the last one ...

Re: Interesting surcharge for DCS tether cord

To clarify, I was not buying from MTH. I don't think they sell tether cords - they just advise to use a telephone handset cord.

Re: MR changes finally public

I am perplexed as why O scale modelers cut from any cloth care about the goings on at MR. Have OST & OGR subscriptions. In distant past, found MR indispensable regardless of scale. Less and less so in recent times. Not the same organization or magazine it was under Al Kalmbach. Different attitu...

Re: MR changes finally public

Received October 2017 MR. Miller introduces himself in from the editor but not a single word about Besougloff. Not a word anywhere in the whole issue that I could find. Like he never even existed. Never mind why he was gone. Strange, to say the least. To the point of being creepy, to say a bit more....
