Another online Model Train Service making a change.
I got this in email today. It is from Alastair Lee who puts out a newsletter under Model Railway Layouts Plans.
After the major subject of today's newsletter Al included the following;

Fear of Technology Killing the Local Hobby Shop?
Been some great discussion lately about the hobby shop business in today's market. Don's commentary was especially good.

Updated website features coming in 2014
We're starting discussions with consultants on doing the MRH website upgrade later this year and we're collecting a list of desired features. Here's the first one.

Looking for Bluessman
Bluessman,

Thanks

Contacting Forum Members via "Contact" Tab in Member Profile

Allagash Railway - NEW PICS - Madrid Yard almost complete
Hi guys,
After about 6 weeks of torrential work, Madrid Yard is finally close to complete. Madrid is the Division Point yard and the most important spot on the Allagash.
