There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We had the Aurora HO cars back when I was growing up... built some magnum-sized tracks, but NOTHING like that! :bowdown:

Did you mess with re-winding the motors?
We used to "chop" the bodies on them down as low as possible, and drill small holes in the upper parts of the bodywork, to lower the center of gravity in them. :thumbup:

Brings back memories of about 12 years ago. I took over the basement/den with a HO layout. Jumped in heavy duty and had half the area filled with a huge switch yard layout as well as a traveling track for trains on the run.

I used to glue splitshot on the lowest part of the car to help it stick to the track. Was tricky getting just the correct amount as to help, but not scrub too much speed off. Never did the re-winding of motors. But cutting the bodies was one modification we used. Aslo tried adding a second grove pin to the rear of the car. Had to remember to keep that screw loose so the pin could pivot. Brings back some fond memories of my childhood. :thumbup:
