RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted May 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2012 Forgive me if this has been previously raised but... It seems that the Gauge0guild website is only readily accessible to members these days. I was trying to access the 'small plans' download (which I am sure I did a couple of years ago when I first had a 7mm rush of blood to the head) but now it seems to ask you to log in etc. I can't afford another subscription at present but it seems a shame to limit such information for potential newbies to the scale. Is it me or has anyone else experienced this? Many thanks in advance, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I downloaded this not long ago. I can send it to you if you like but it's almost 11mb. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ..... Well, it's true that section is in the members area - but all society websites seem to have 'members areas' - and fair enough - if you gave away the crown jewels to everyone - then no-one would bother to become a member, and the society would wither and die..... A sad reality of life, and applicable to all scales! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenton Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have just checked my copy and its 5.95Mb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 5.95Mb Ah, I should point out that I converted my version to spreads so I could understand the layouts without printing it - some of them are spread over 2 pages so makes it quite difficult to understand. I had to strip out the front and back covers to get it down to this size too! Pete, I'l; send you mine but if you'd like the original version (with covers and single pages) I didn't save the original version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ...crown jewels I agree, this handbook is nicely produced and could be considered a 'jewel' in GOGs trophy room. However, when I downloaded it, it was given away freely on the GOG website, which is where I got it. I think it's more of an enticement into the scale rather than a secret document to be kept from prying eyes. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 However, when I downloaded it, it was given away freely on the GOG website, which is where I got it. That may have been a result of accidental/poor web design, perhaps always indended to be members only. My "FREE" copy has a price of £3.95 on the front cover/first page.

The Nth Degree Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I downloaded after reading this. And the link still appears to work. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/20601-newbie-in-7mm/#entry205216 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted May 17, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yes perhaps the website design has been altered now - I do remember downloading it before...but when I dropped my external hard drive last year it all disappeared to the great architect in the sky. All resolved now - thanks everyone for the input on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
