Thanks for the great magazine otherwise.

Not sure if this has been mentioned here already, but I had been clued in about this neat product - http://www.bouldercreekengineering.com/scale_ops.php - a while ago, but until now, I had no chance to actually see or use one, but that will change this weekend at a local op session by someone who just installed one on his layout.

X2011 West, the 2011 National Model Railroad Convention, will be held in Sacramento, CA on July 3-9, 2011. The current registration fee for the Convention is a very cheap $99! But that price will be available only until September 1, 2010, after it will increase to $139.

We apologize ... our website was offline for a while this morning because our server capacity was exceeded.

Basically, we're growing so fast right now that our server is hitting the wall! We are moving fast to upgrade to a better server with lots of extra capacity, but that's going to take a few days, so be patient with us.

This is the kind of problem you like to have - because we're growing so fast right now ... wow. Thank you everyone for your support - and we're working as fast as humanly possible to keep up!
