Thanks for the update all. I read the thread on what's happened and wish that I could do something on the tech issues. He will have a new N customer here when it's functional..... all the best to him for success....

Marshall's web site is back up. But still having problems with ordering. You can see his catalog however.  Everyone start your wish list!

Fantastic News!

Not just narrow gauge, lots of useful structures and steam loco detail parts (for starters).

The new thing that Marshall was talking about - and sent me pictures of the kit progress - is this water-powered sawmill.

This has 'award winner' all over it, it's completely over the top from what I saw with sound and a working water wheel.

Randgust:  All I get on that link is a blank page.  And it really is blank, even the source code is empty!  I've seen pages that won't display, for whatever reason, but a page with no code at all is very unusual.

Since they were having problems moving the website to another host, glitches are not all that unexpected.  That is documented in the duplicate thread I linked to at the beginning of this thread.  I'm not even sure why we still have 2 concurrent threads about this subject.

In this case it is probably useful as although their focus is on Nn3 (narrow gauge), they sell products that also work for standard gauge.
