Help

Frustration is setting in. I don't know what has happened in my computer. I can't get to the NMRA home page. I wanted to check some rail standards, just getting started here, and I like their help stuff.



Have they been hacked or is it me?



Anybody have a clue?



Thanks in advance for ANY help. Dave & Hamilton Silkitis snuffmuffinATworldnet.att.net or post for others also.

and it did not work. Perhaps they are down for maintenance?

Thank You!

I thought I got infected again by MS or one of the other "garbage" files in my machine.

I was just trying to find out the dimensional differences between schedule

73, 80 & 100 track.

I am trying to create a layout where I can run our (as in His and Hers) HO and Marklin old 3 rail AC stuff. I will, of course, include protection devices. Love a challenge!!!

Thanks again! Dave

Use Märklin Track. Their latest generation can be powered as an either/or situation if wired correctly as the two rails can be independent of one another. The differences between Märklin, NEM and NMRA standard wheels may be a problem though, especially through any switches. Märklin and NEM - the DC standard for Europe - are not the same. Current NEM and Märklin items run through the modern Märklin track, but the same cannot be said of the older M track or Scale track. NMRA standard stuff has a little some sloppiness running through Märklin track and NEM standard track. Märklin and NEM standard items have some difficulty running through NMRA standard switches if the switches have not been fixed.

What you are trying to do has been done before. Contact me off list with your specifics and I'll see what I can do. Have been there, done that, and have the t-shirt - :).

The wheels were my concern which prompted my search for information.

I am an electro/mechanical engineering technician by trade and at 63, will now try to apply these skills to play.

Marklin sells the 3 rail flex track for $115.00 a box and thats the stud type. Just a tad pricey!

We have a neat train shop here in Sacramento and I picked up some 100 flex track and seperate single rails, for a whole lot less.

Creativity at the switches and crossings, delicate soldering, and "I think I can, I think I can - -"

Looking forward to your input. e-mail your LL, put it on my quarter. Dave

Love your shots!!! Dave

Thanks, I try.

If you're using Internet Exploder, turn off ActiveX and auto-install of programs through the Tools/Internet Options panel. It won't protect you, but it keeps you from running completely wide open. You're still visible and vulnerable even with that stuff off. The problem with MS is that's automatically configured to leave you wide open to the world. There's a lot of stuff you can get rid of, but I'm not far enough into my program to know the particulars yet.

Coincidence. It is based on DPM modules though.

Mozilla or Firefox (a Mozilla browser-only subset) can really reduce your exposure.

Servers occasionally go down for maintenence or part failure. Sometimes it takes a while for the server to be noticed as being down and then get repaired. The site works for me now.
