John. I know what you mean! I was hoping to find some info on the Walthers website but is rather vacant when it comes to things like this. Unless someone knows differently? Just waiting for a delivery from Coastal DCC for 2 motherboards and speaker enclosures. I have an Atlas SD35 and this H10-44 to sound. James.

Hello 2E. many thanks for your response, very helpful indeed. I did look on TCS website but only the sound installs. I also removed, after applying a spot of glue to the boxes before removing them they tried to remove the body, it showed no signs of movement so then asked the question. So, its back to the work bench and have another go, all good fun. I do like the FM H10-44's! Thanks again. James.

Hello. I’m after some advice please from anyone who has removed the body shell from an HO Walthers Proto 2000 loco H10-44. I’m looking to install a sound decoder but am a bit reluctant to go pushing and shoving on the body as its very thin plastic indeed!!! Any help would be very welcome. Thanks. James

Thank you very much Andy. A bit unsure of the dance lesson!! James.

Hiya Andy @AY Mod I've signed up to Premium a few weeks ago and received the WofR email receipt; however when logging in the header logo does not show RMweb Premium. I have tried clicking on ‘Themes’ dropdown which only shows RMweb 2023 Default and 5 other company headins, no RMweb Premium. I've logged out of RMWeb, closed and re-opened the browser and logged into RMWeb again. Also cleared any RMweb cookies along with any browsing history but with no success. Is there anything else I can try? Using Windows 10 and Firefox. Thanks. James.

Looking forward to a busy and wonderful weekend of friendship and modelling fun. Hope to see some of you here at Nailsea School. James.

Many thanks for peoples input in this matter, I now have full access. Cheers. James

This is from Edge This page isn't working at the moment www.rmweb.co.uk can't currently handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

Has there been any progress in these issues? Mine being able to load up Layout Topics when logged out but logging I just get a white screen using Firefox Windows 10. Jumping onto Edge Windows 10 gives me access logged out and logged in an error message of 'this page not working'. Just tried clearing cookies and history, rebooting then logging in. Unfortunately the issues persists. Any help and/or suggestions would be wonderful

Perhaps you may find something of help from this wonderful collection of US photos. https://thetracksidephotographer.com/coal-country/erhaps I find them very rewarding. Love your project and keeping a close eye on it! James.

Hello. I am, sadly having a similar issue with ‘Layout Topics’ both in Firefox, just blank page with no error report and Edge which loads up until I login then gives an error! I know this will get sorted in time so only adding in my issues which I hope will not give any member of your hard working team any sleepless nights? Many thanks to all for getting it back to here. James.

Just to confirm that as of today Friday 28/01/2022 the one day NMRABR meet is still on. The organizers have said the following- 'We recommend that you bring a face-mask; at the time of writing this reminder note we do not know if the hall owners – Bucks County Council - will require them. Better to bring one just in case. There will be no catering inside the venue but we do expect to have a food service van outside which will offer hot and cold drinks plus hot and cold snack meals. There is also the Tesco Express a short distance away, three pubs which serve a variety of food and a café in the village. Bring an insulated mug if you have one. Please note that access is through a housing estate and we ask that noise and disturbance is avoided when arriving and leaving. Looking forward to seeing some of you there. James.

The venue will be open to NMRA members and the public from 10:00 to 16:00. The NMRA Publicity Stand and the Region Library will be present. AP Assessment will also be available but must be advised beforehand to Keith Webb, AP Chair, as space is a little limited.

I signed into the event just before midnight and had a very enjoyable 2 hours watching information on the PRR's loco's by way of some wonderful old photos of early locos by the Rev James H Dean. Then Matthew showed us his modelling of 1940's PRR steam locos, again some very interesting photos from around the 1940's. All very enjoyable and I hope others joined the meeting and it found it so? James.
