Newsletter Changes
With everything going on this week, I didn't finish formatting the changes to the newsletter. However, I wanted to make sure I still got a newsletter out this week.

New Website Host
Last Friday I moved Model-Train-Tips.com to a new hosting company; hopefully you've noticed some improvement in page loading times.

It took me a little longer to make the move than I planned due to some technical issues (on my part) and I forgot to upload some files. It didn't take long before someone pointed out one of the missing files I had forgotten (thanks Bob!)

Hopefully, everything is back up now. But just in case, I 'm asking for your help. If you find any bad links, please drop me a line via the Contact Form on my Contact page.

Articles that have been posted since the last newsletter:

A Hobbyist Guide For N Scale Model Trains

C & G RR Layout Updates
As I mentioned last week, Chuck Schutz sent me more pictures of some enhancements he has made to his C & G RR layout. I've added another update page with those pictures and have another page going live Saturday:

Update 3 Mt. Bernstein

Update 4 The Engine House (to be posted Saturday, May 29th)

Sharing is Caring!
At the bottom of each article is a tool that allows you to share articles you like with others:

If you hover your pointer over this tool, it will expand to show several icons. Each icon represents a social networking site or blogging related site. Example: the first icon is for Facebook; click on the Facebook icon and you can share the article on Facebook (assuming you use Facebook) with your friends.

There are icons for Twitter, MySpace, and many others. Feel free to play around with this, but let me know if you encounter any problems.

Big Ebook Sale This Weekend
I've learned that Model Trains For Beginners is having a special May Madness sale this weekend. If you've been thinking about investing in this ebook, wait until Friday. They are knocking over 42% off the regular price, but only for this weekend.

I'll be sending you their emails to you over the weekend so you'll have a chance to take advantage of their limited-time offer.

Newsletter Format
As I mentioned above, I didn't get to the changes to the newsletter format. The new format will be structured to automatically go out every Thursday if there have been any updates made to the website during the previous seven days. Each newsletter will have excerpts of recently added articles, etc.

My goal with this change is to provide more information in a timely manner. I'd like to hear back from you about this change as well as any ideas you might have.

Thanks
Rick
