It was not duckburg.de which you visitted, it was duckhunt.de ,
duckburg.de doesn't exist :-)
According to the S/Dollarsign question. Using the dollarsign and then
crooge is a great gag, used on covers of the magazine US. In the mag HDL
and Donald would normally call him Unca Scrooge, with an s, not a
dollarsign. I guess you have the same problem in Norway where the
pocketbook Onkel dollarsignkrue, would be written so on the cover. In
Denmark they once made Scrooges o, in J*o*akim be a coin or hs face. 
In Italy the I in Zio (Uncle) would also show a dollarsign.

Anyway you're question about the railway was answered.

It should be easy to find a copy of the Old cstle's secret - I can find a
danish one if you like.

 idea. 
As said, Disney/Egmont wouldn't accept it nless you cover something. But
it would make a great story. BTW I think Katie Quackfaster made a comic on
her page showing the sisters meating Scrooge again, plus Scrooge marrying
Goldie

Great idea, but I wouldn't like old SCroogie to be kilt or something.

This Oak Island have confused me. I don't hink I will be able to look it
up in a danish encyclopedia, could one of you danes here help me?

I'm not sure I understand that idea, but it sure sounds interesting. Would
Magica look like herself or Scrooge? Why would they call her aunt?

I look forward to it, but it might become your last story, meaning they

Good idea, research is always great. I look fowardto that story both
because Faroe Islands in unfairly a part of our kingdom, and I go to
teacher's college with one from the islands.

Interesting philosophy. In a Goofy story I just read, by Stefan Petrucha,
Goofy thouyght about the same. He was very unhappy when he got the thought
that Mickey might also be a product of virtual reliaty. Some aliens might
be fooling him to think that our world is real...

Seeya!
