Does anyone know if the Trainlife website is still being actively managed?  I tried to sign up some time ago and seem to have got myself stuck between "Account still requires admin approval" and "Account already exists", and there isn't an obvious email address to use.  I note the home page says "copyright 2015", so I suppose there's hope....

Where is it possible to get replacement wire connectors like the original ones on my Marx controllers and switches.

New to the site here, but have been lurking for a while.  I have a track plan for a switching layout I have been kicking around for a while for the office in my home.  My goal is to model what would be a (fictitious) midwest shortline or a Conrail industrial track circa late 90's.  One of my givens was to have an interchange where I could drop cars off on one track and then pick up the days work and pre-block the train before performing switching duties.  After that I would hit the industries and head for the "rest of the line" in staging.

As the title says, this is about none or minimal wires.  Some call it Dead Rail.  But as I am going to talk some about charging via the rails, I am not going to use that term here.  I am not posting this to get into DCC vr RC or who likes/dislikes touch pads.  This is to present one way to get rid of those pesky wires and rail cleaning.  

First some other discussions must be referenced:
