Vendor Reliability
I am checking in to ask if anyone has done business with a web seller called Hobby Rails.com? They have a very nice website, nice presentation of items and decent prices. Looks legit to me. However, I placed an order to them on July 27 and I received an order confirmation with order number within 24 hours but have heard nothing since and have not received my order. I have sent two e-mails, checking on order status, and left a message on their phone but no response. Discover said they hit my card on the order date. Unfortunately there is no physical address provided on the website.
Looking for ad
Hi,
I remember an ad for a new type of rail connector or module rail connector in the magazine, and I can't find it.
It looks like a short length of track that can be repeatedly connected together. Also at angles.
Not the little metal connectors. This was something new.
Anyone know what it is?

Dealers
I for one am disappointed when any hobby supplier closes. I was a customer many years ago of Caboose. I now try to use those suppliers that provide a positive image. I have at this time sent an order to company that I have used in the past with good results. This time I am regretting my order. I have sent them 5 emails requesting the status of my order which they have received payment . I have heard nothing to date, All I get is "waiting for fulfillment". Nothing was on their site that stated an item I ordered was not in stock.
Superb Soundtraxx service
Leaving both headlights on for switching is prototypical. Engineers don't turn headligts on and off with each change of directions. Soundtraxx customer service answered my email on this topic within an hour !
George Bogatiuk described exactly what to do clearly and briefly. Part of the instructions were to set both CV 57 and 58 to 255 to enable all the lights in both directions. Simple ! There's also a four minute video demysitifying indexed CV's.
Modelrailroadbenchwork.com is still operational.
I have received a few emails asking if I'm still working / in business during this COVID thing referencing MRH as their info source. In a word, Yes. The only changes are I am not doing any in person contacts and my supplier for wheels is out. I'm otherwise 100% operational and honestly busier than ever. I'll also be having a sale soon but I have to finish custom layout #61 first.
