MRH Website general discussion
ATTENTION: MRH website maintenance is complete!
What changed?
1. Site look-and-feel has been changed.
The look of the site is now different - one more significant difference is the page width has been increased so 800-pixel wide images fit within the page. Also, when images exceed the 800 pixels, they are cropped, they no longer overlap the side menus and "break" the look of the site.
2. Random header replaced with every 7-second slide show.
MRH site outage circa 4:15 pm Pacific
We had the MRH web site go down today circa 4:15 pm Pacific time and it was down for over an hour.
Our internet service provider that hosts our server had some name server problems and our site was not visible on the internet during the time they were dealing with the issue.
But we're back now and all is well. Sorry for any inconvenience our brief absence on the internet may have caused!
Site changes ...
We've made some changes to the web site in preparation for the new site look, which we now expect to make this coming weekend - Saturday night, Feb 19th, at midnight - more on that later.
CHANGES TO THIS SITE:
We've changed the post type labels you will see in the recent posts list to align more with what the content is:
Web - Standard MRH web page that contains web specific content like the page about our Reader Survey.
eZine - Magazine or newsletter comment pages.
What are the titles of posts supposed to do when you click them?
Right now, all that happens when you click on the title of a post is that it moves that post to the top of the sreen. Is that what is supposed to happen?

Museum train 1:1
Think you have problems clearing out space on your work bench? The Oregon Railroad Historical Foundation is leaving its long-time home at the Brooklyn Roundhouse in Portland, Ore., and waiting for a new facility to be built a few miles north. Union Pacific needs the Brooklyn space, so everything had to move.
See it happen:
Easy Model Railroad Inventory Upgrade
Released version 2.1 of Easy Model Roadroad Inventory. Added a new field, System Class, and some other stuff.
Craftsman Structure kits?
I'm just curious, how many of you on here know what a craftsman structure kit is?
And if you do know, do you build them? Why or why not?
What's your favorite Craftsman Structures vendor, and why or why not?
Looking forward to hearing your comments, as always.
Finally, ready for some beta testers of the new site look
Okay, we're finally ready, I think, to have some beta testers have a look at the new site.
We're doing this in phases - first phase is the new site look and the ad-enabled stuff. Forums and blogs still work the same - things just look quite a bit different.
Because we're enabling ads, we also altering how the pages cache to keep performance as snappy as possible.
Budd Business Passenger Cars in Passenger Consist
I have several Budd Business Passenger Cars and have researched their history and use. I am unable, however, to find any information of "where" they would normally be placed within a passenger train consist. Since they have an "observation" style back, I would think their placement would be in utilizing such as would have them be the last car of the consist. But what then about the standard observation car that is also part of the consist? Any insight and information will be very welcomed and appreciated.
