    How do you like the forum now?

    OK, I've made quite a few big changes, including, most dramatically, changing the mysql settings. At the moment things are running at the speed I expect for this rather expensive server. Please let me know what you're seeing, good or bad!

    RailroadForums.com

    Last night I migrated Railroadforums.com to the new dns server. Seems to be working fine, but not seeing anyone logged in right now? Anyone have log on problems there? Switching DNS might mean you have to log in again.

    FORUM OUTAGE COMPLETED

    I'm about to make major changes to the DNS stuff. That's going to break stuff for a while, possibly 24 to 48 hours. This place may disappear for a day or so. DON'T PANIC! It will be back. Hopefully faster.

    Back online

    Well, we had a website outage this morning. The hosting company had an issue on their end where it wasn't properly directing the traffic to the server. I didn't get too much info other than "we're working on it". Guessing a flaky switch (digital, not track), or maybe the DCC card went bad. ;)

    New Tools Forum

    By popular request, a place to talk about model railroad tools, which means pretty much all tools when you get right down to it. Sometimes it's a simple and cheap razor saw to cut rails. Other guys have a full machine shop so they can build their own live steam locomotive. While most of us...

    Sparky's Garage

    Bruette posted info on a bunch of new Lionel HO stuff and this one definitely caught my eye! What a great building. Apparently you can buy it pre-assembled or a kit.

    When you don't have much room for a layout, but want to show off your collection of hopper cars

    I've only got an 8 x 8 space for my layout, what can I build in such a small square space? If you built this as a model railroad and showed it to me, I would have laughed. Turnouts (switches) are expensive, nobody is going to put in all those turnouts just to store a few more cars! Totally...
