There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Works for me, on an obsolete OS and ancient Firefox.  The two big pictures on the home page are blank, but the links work, and the pictures on the product pages show.

Train-Worx website?

@daniel_leavitt2000 ? Please do us all (and Pat!) a favor and change the thread title to something like "Can't get to Train-Worx website" or something like that. The mere presence of "Is so-and-so out of business?" in thread indexes has a tendency to launch unfounded rumors in a community as tight as ours is.

Thanks!

100% true.   I have had numerous encounters at shows talking to acquaintances (or buyers when I had a table) say "yeah I thought I saw on Trainboard/Railwire/et al that so-and-so closed".   And one notable poster that kept reporting one of our LHS's had closed when it had not.   I knew the owner personally and operated with him on a couple of layouts regularly....he was not pleased.

Works fine from the other side of the pond.

Daniel? That didn't help. That's what shows in the index. People scan the index and see the reference and not open the thread for the correction because the topic doesn't affect them or otherwise is not of interest. This type of thing is called "FUD" - fear, uncertainty, and doubt. It can be very damaging to a company.

Please scrub the "shut down" reference from the title.

I did that. I thought that should've fixed it.

I left the old title in place to avoid confusion.

OK, Ed. I'll defer to your judgement on this, but like I said, it sort of amounts to FUD where the clarification is in the weeds. IMO, potential for propagating bad info trumps TRW thread reference integrity. But that's just me.

Totally agree. Let me see what I can do.

Thanks for changing the subject.

I still can't get into it, but think I figured it out. Looks like the global admin setting at work are blocking this site. They let all other train related sites though. I wonder what the issue is.

If you are using an old saved link, the URL you are using may be http://www.train-worx.com
Many places block anything "http://" these days.

Try https://www.train-worx.com instead.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
