NOTE: This thread was originally posted by Rusty Stumps in the Off-Topic Forum. It contains many outstanding railroad-related web sites. If you find a link that is dead, please contact MikeC or NYC so that we may correct it or delete it.id=size4>id=red>

Recently I had to rebuild my main computer because of a virus and in doing so I forgot to same my "Favorites" in Explorer. Now looking around for some of the places in Model Railroading I use to like to visit I can't remember the URL's.

So what I proposing is that there probably are a number of forum members that may be unaware of some good MRR sites to visit and I think we need something like the Archive to store user suggested good links. And the bad (dead) ones should be remove or noted as such.

here's mine: http://www.sierrawest.com - if your into high end kits this is an excellent site, good for the pictures too!

MikeC Rusty, this is a great idea. And I'll second your SierraWest listing. It's one of my favorites.

Here are a few of mine.

Finescale Railroader Magazine: the complete print magazine is also online as a free download. Photo Gallery, Forum, etc. also at the site. The editor/publisher just finished a complete overhall of the site. As a result, there are now only a few forum topics and photos posted. All of the "old" stuff is archived.

www.finescalerr.com

Timbertimes Magazine: order subscription, back issues, books, etc. Frequently displays great logging photos.

www.timbertimes.com

Mike Tylick's Division Office Site: lots of useful modeling info, free vintage sign downloads, etc.

www.trainweb.org/tylick

South River Modelworks: Good photos of built up SRM kits.

www.southrivermodelworks.com

Valley Model Trains: A dealer who specializes in structure kits for all scales/gauges. Many kits/manufacturers you will never see in Walthers.

www.valleymodeltrains.com

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.
