MRH staff notes - 4
When this happens, the best thing you can do is completely
change the conditions by chosing our mirror servers instead of
our primary servers. Our mirrors are located in a completely
different place on the Internet, so the different routing may be
more favorable from our mirror to you than from our primary
to you this month.
So try the mirror!
Also, if the red button Flash download wizard is giving you
trouble, try using the green button direct download. Again, this
changes the mix and could succeed where the other may be fail-
ing for you this month.
For a complete summary of all the steps you can try when the
download is giving you trouble, visit this help link on our web-
site: mrhmag.com/help/problems-accessing-new-issue ...
Keep the article queries coming!
We have received numerous responses to our request for

If we are unable to respond to you very soon (we’re a part-

photos and prepare the manuscript. Follow the authors style
tips
and our submis-
sion guide [
, both of
which you will find under the Authors menu on our website.
Floquil and PollyScale alternatives
We received the following from Andy Keeney. It’s a good sum-
mary of your options given the announcement from Testors
that they’re discontinuing
the Floquil and Pollyscale
paint lines:
“ ... the following are some
alternate paints others have
been suggesting. I am not
recommending these paints.
Testors appears to be adding
many Floquil and PollyScale
RR colors to their lineup in
both acrylic and enamel.
The TruColor Brand appears
to have an extensive line
of railroad colors and their
paint is in the same ballpark
(costwise) as Floquil and
PollyScale. I’ve read where
TruColor has taken over the
AccuPaint line.
