I never imagined my plight would generate such a conversation! For others that might be looking for a cure --- the problem was Navigator (no longer supported) and the Beta Version of Mozilla Firefox. Now that a Stable version 3 of Firefox is out (and I installed it) Trains.com comes up fine...

I've tried repeatedly for at least a month to access Trains, Model Trains, Model Railroading, Toy Trains, Trains.com or Model Railroader Magazine - Model Railroading, Trains, Track Plans. Anybody got any idea why the site refuses to show up? Pat

I'm new at this - but a speaker would be fluff (and really not necessary). I was wondering if just one of the small decoders would fit ok? You know, tip of little finger size with a bunch of wires sticking out of it --- :-)

Wow! Thank you! You guys are amazing. I'll carefully do this AFTER a good night's sleep. Is there room for a decoder and speaker?

Thanks guys - you see what I mean in the first post - ready, willing, able and kind to newbies. Hang on to your cap - I hope to pickup the 2" 4x8 PINK fiber boards (three of them) either tomorrow or Wednesday. I've made ample room for an L-shaped layout - 16' long with a 3x4' extension -- all...

Grand Prairie is equidistant from Dallas and Fort Worth bordered by I-20 and I-30. Makes it easy to shop in both cities! Pat

I have just started this new hobby! I am looking forward to being an active user of this neat forum. I have a "game" room upstairs that is all my own!:mrgreen: I plan to take quite a while deciding the scope, design and layout. My plan includes building for the future and not just starting...
