TrainTry - Model Railroad Reviews and Info Website

[rickbotha]

Hi Guys,

I haven't posted on here in toooooo long.

The reason for my absence is my work on my model railroad website, TrainTry (www.traintry.com).

I created TrainTry as a resource for people new to model railroading, as well as to add value to the greater MRR community.

I would really appreciate your comments on the site, any suggested improvements, content ideas, guest posts, etc.

Anyone that has any items available to lend me that I could review on the site, ranging from Locomotives, to Starter Sets, to DCC Cabs, to general accessories; I would be most grateful.

Please let me know what you think

Regards,

Rick

Looking good!

Yes, I agree, the more the merrier!

On the website. I like the layout and fonts. The facebook and twitter links on the left is a little too big (might be my screen settings this side). I would hotlink the pictures on the main landing page too... Most people will click on the pictures rather than the wording.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for checking it out

The social share icons I'll have a look at, weird that they're oversized on your size. Mobile or PC? Browser?

The pictures on the main page are all clickable, but once again, I'll have a look based on how you were accessing it.

Thanks for the input

Hey, Hey Rick,

Yea site looks good.
The social media icons on the left is a bit big, but it is not too bad.
I saw that the pictures is clickable, so maybe just check out all the browsers. I used Chrome.

Other wise all good.

Now you need to take your own advice and build a layout  LOL

PC using Firefox... See picture included...

Ok, looks I was just too hurried. If I wait till all of the page loaded the pictures do have links on them - also some written wording.

Hey Ed, Evert,

Thanks for the kind words and the advice.

I resized the click targets on the left - I think it works better now.

The pictures only becoming clickable after a while is a bit of a problem for navigating through things at a decent speed. Will have to look at changing my hosting in the near future.

Thanks Guys:)
