    Rising hobby prices

    I feel kind of bad for the hobby shop owners. They're getting it from all ends. The recession we're in is definitely going to hurt their sales, as people aren't going to be able to spend as much on hobbies. Raising costs of everything not only means they have to raise their prices to keep up...

    What's wrong with Trains.com??

    Both works fine for me. Try accessing them from another IP address, maybe your IP banned from them.

    We're back up

    Hi everyone, sorry for the down time. Something happened to the database. I spent the first half of the day trying to fix it, then the second half restoring the site from yesterday's backup. We might have lost some posts, but just a few hours worth (this is why I backup every day!).

    Seth Godin Talks About What's Wrong With Hobby Stores

    Stop the madness......

    Hi Richard, Sorry about the problems... the whole email thing is an impossible situation for us. We're stuck between being too open, and too closed, if we go in one direction too far we get too much incoming spam, if we go in the other too far we start hurting people who are honest and just...

    Facebook

    Hi, I was over the past few days learning a bit about Facebook. I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to setup a group on Facebook for members here to have another means of making connections, but wasn't sure if anyone else was using it. :)
