There's a new Trainlife website.  They are now a dealer for Exactrail as well as a regular hobby shop.  The magazines aren't up yet but they at least address it.

I thought Exactrail was only selling direct to consumers.

"The exclusive online dealer for Exactrail" was the headline of the page that came up for me. Also, they are featuring numerous Athearn items. I thought Athearn only sold to B&Ms.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, they revamped their Facebook page a couple of days ago as well. That was the first clue they were returning.

I thought Exactrail was only selling direct to consumers.

I was thinking Spring Creek Model Trains was still a dealer for Exactrail, since they make it to a ton of shows yearly and Blaine used them that way. I could totally be wrong on that. I know they had an Exactrail display at their open house/train show July 4th weekend last year.

MBK had a few Exactrail items added recently (in the last month), no mention of it being old stock or a warehouse find...

I pray that the magazines do get back up. It's only been 3-4 years since they were hacked and I've personally offered to help them at least once a year (politely turned down). It's a HUGE resource but has been practically unusable since it crashed. Fingers crossed...

There is this promising placeholder on the "magazines" page...  :)

We know we know! It's been too long since you had access to the TrainLife.com magazine library... But don't worry, our developers are hard at work and we are in the testing phases of a new magazine portal that will allow you to do a lot more! We think the wait will be worth it and plan to have this online soon.

There may even be some issues you've never seen before :)...
