Jim Martin Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Although I mostly build British things these days, I still like to indulge my old interests in US passenger trains from time-to-time. Mainly i do this through the TrainLife website (http://www.trainlife.com/). I just went there to have a quick shufti, only to find that all the page scans have disappeared. The "page text" view still works; but that doesn't show any of the images, which obviously reduces the eye-candy quotient by a fair bit. Is this a recent development? Is TrainLife actually alive at all, or is this it in a near-death state, pending the domain name running out? Or is it something less drastic, like they've changed it so that you have to register to see the images (in which case, I would register)? Any information gratefully received.

Jim Martin Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thanks very much. That explains it (although not, as you say, in a good way). I did look around the site but I didn't find the page you quoted. Maybe you're right about it being just for registered users. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
highpeak Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think he meant only registered users can see the message. I am a registered user, can't get the site to display content. A real shame because there is a lot of valuable articles in that archive. I hope they can resolve the issue and wish I had the expertise to help.

chilgarth Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 All... Likewise, I'm a registered user of the trainlife site, and am unable to login. Have sent "Help request" email several weeks ago to admin, but no response to-date. Request for password, in the event I don't have it right results in message "Administrative approval of account required." Have come to believe site is not being actively administered or monitored. ... Coh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I have to say, much as liked the magazine scan archive, I couldn't see how the site would make enough money to run itself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'd better keep looking out for those old copies of Model Railroading... Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 BTW the magazine articles are still there on http://original.trainlife.com/magazines/ I think if you find a broken link to a scan on the original trainlife site, if you replace the 'www' with 'original' you can find what you need.
