Model Train Journal

CC Rider -- Well, looking at the almost dead subway Forum section there, to be honest, unfortunately, is sad from what it was and how very active it was for a good part of the past 20 years. That is changed now because over time most, if not all, of the few real-hands-builders & skilled scratch-...

Hello ALL ---------- Someone sent me this by private email and I figured I would share it here. Its a resin plastic production run of IND R-10 Body Shells designed to fit on MTH or Lionel 60' long IND R series SMEE subway car steel floor chassis. The MTH and LIONEL "seating section-inner floor ...

[quote="ScaleCraft"]I dunno. Lee spelled it out. The issue is somebody who wants to be important. Breaking News! You heard it here first! But you don't have all the facts. And that sets off the Communists on NK. Was that on purpose? Maybe. Was it necessary? Not at all. But now we know exac...

Thanks Greg. Well, that post seems quite apropos for that forum. I guess J Frank needed to be the 1st guy to report the news. I don't think I've ever seen that name post anything here. And, for the record, Lee is Bill son-in-law and he was unaware there was a problem. He said he's made arrangement ...

Hello Lee THANKS much for getting MTJ back up and running.!!! I was the one who found the GO DADDY DOMAIN website page that came up when I clicked on Model Train Journal link in my computer favorites list. It listed " MODEL TRAIN JOURNAL -- and then beneath -- something ie: " THIS DOMAIN I...

Hello Scale Craft (Dave?) When I and others clicked on the MTJ site here Jan 2nd, we all saw a GO DADDY DOMAIN page which had MODEL TRAIN JOURNAL name just below the Go Daddy Line Logo - and a notice below that stating : THIS DOMAIN HAS EXPIRED -- DOMAIN IS PARKED -- DOMAIN FOR SALE. I should have s...

Hello Dave Thanks for the followup comment ! .... and yes, I am somewhat back to normal but not pushing and driving myself as hard as I did previously over the past many decades. Taking things easier and more relaxed from this point on. I think you and I spoke on the phone a few weeks ago at some ti...

Hello Rich (E7) and Dave (Bach) Thanks for your both (and the only two who posted, even with 501 views !!!) heh) concern and wishes. Ended up in HOSPITAL ! Actually-- it took a required 7 days (Jan 15 thru Jan 22) very quickly doctor-ordered stay in a local hospital hooked up to a number of IV's flu...

Hello Rich (E-7) Thank you very much for the thoughts, and likewise, the same to YOU ! I hope 2022 is a better year than 2021 but I doubt it. I have been, like countless many people across the USA and Europe (and Canada) -- suffering from this newest "massive virulent flu strain" which cam...
