TRAINLIFE site issues - used to be Car ID just for fun

Hi List Members,
I too have has much trouble accessing the TRAINLIFE site.
One work-around that I have found, that appears to work as of this current
moment, is to build a URL that is based around the example shown below...
Clicking on the above URL will take you to the May 1991
issue of Model Railroading from the TRAINLIFE site. As mentioned, this appears
to work as of the moment, even though the 'normal' access to the site is
currently down
Note that the URL has a four digit year and a two digit
month near the end just before the period. By altering this year and month to
what you want, you can access other back issues of Model
Railroading
I imagine if you know the correct three-letter code to substitute for "mrr"
in the example URL you may be able to access other magazines besides Model
Railroading
Hope this helps
Claus Schlund

It appears not all issues are in the wp-content folder.

It may be possible to go old school and access the parent directory with an FTP client, if you can find one..

Claus-
This is great! How did you ever figure it out?
For those looking for Railway Model Journal and Prototype Modeler, the three letter abbreviations are rmj and ptm, respectively. I found with the latter that using the first of two months worked, i.e. “05” for the “May-June” issue.
Thanks again.

Further to the Trainlife magazine issue I emailed them a couple of days ago and they responded that they had fixed the problem but it was broken again. I assume they are working on it.

The magazine archives are hosted on a different server from the main retail website and sometimes it disconnects. Usually the solution is to reset the server. Due to the Black Friday/Cyber Week sales rush the company's four employees are rushing to ship orders in a timely manner so the magazine archive is low in priority.
