Is TrainCat Shut Down?

Tried to access some items on the TrainCat website. No joy.  Are they shut down?  I seem to remember something about the owner having health problems but that was a while back.

Yep, pretty much. Bob May be back at some time, but that's a maybe, and it'll probably be a long time.

That is unfortunate.  I am in need of a couple of aggregate conveyors.  I searched around and none out there even come close to Bob's.  He needs to update his site to let modellers know it is still out of commission.

I think he is still going to shows, but have no idea what his schedule is.

Tex N Rails has a few remaining pieces of his stock, and it shows up every so often on eBay.

I knew that there was an online retailer that had TrainCat but a quick check at Texnrails says that they WERE the place but the didn't seem to have any of the items I quickly checked... :(
