Today is December 7, 83 years after what was called, "the day in infamy". Please don't forget, it affected more than those at Pearl Harbor, it affected the entire world. I remember that day, I heard the president's speech but was too young to understand, although I remember it as clearly as if it was a week ago.

M. B. Klein Closing? |

I saw on Reddit this evening that M. B. Klein is closing 12/15. The Reddit poster states as his source a post on the NMRA Facebook page. Since I am not a member of the NMRA I cannot see anything on the NMRA Facebook pages. I have learned to take what I see on Reddit with a grain of salt.
I know M. B. Klein has been having a big sale for awhile now and suspended their rewards program.
Anyone else hear about the closing?

Removing Glue? |

Ok Guys, I bought a SW9 the other day at the local hobby shop and a shell off of Ebay for the SW9. My problem is that the SW9 shell has a metal tube glued down for the forward facing light. What home remedy can I use to remove the glue without damaging the shell at all or what store bought chemical can be used? I thought about just using a set of plyers but I don't want to break the shell as I can't find another one in the color scheme that it is in.

Track problems -- short circuit? |

Suddenly having track problems on my layout which might be a short circuit.
The layout and its wiring it ultra simple. Basically, I have two loops. My outer loop is divided into two halves. Power has suddenly stopped getting to the left-hand half. The layout was working perfectly when a train I was running suddenly stopped on this left half. Basically, the transformer lights up as it normally does when power is going to the R/H part of the layout. But, if I turn on (i.e. have power going to) the L/H side, the transformer light goes out. The transformer also gets very hot.
Again, I had not made any changes to the track, etc. The layout was working fine until this suddenly happened.
I have my wires going to an Atlas switch (terminal #205). Is it possible that switch is failing? I've had it for about 15 years.
Thanks in advance!
Rob

Big Blue up/down 44 error issue |

We seem to have an unknown issue with our server or software. We will occasionally go down with a "44" error for no reason. Sometimes it's just for a few minutes, today it went on for a few hours. Pat checks for issues and cannot find anything wrong and by golly, Big Blue springs to life once again. If we ignore the error, it doesn't seem to matter, Big Blue still comes back up on it's own. We suspect it could be that since we are on a shared server, someone else is hogging all the bandwidth. If we do that, GoDaddy will slap our wrists and tell us what bad people we are, so it's a mystery why we go down in the first place, and why we come back up without doing anything.
The point is, if you encounter a 44 error and can't access Big Blue, don't panic, just wait a few minutes and try again. It will eventually come back on it's own.
