DJ Dangerous Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Hi all. The forum's a real mess for SSM (Studio Scale Models) stuff, and since @Weshty hasn't been too active these past three years, here are some of (probably not all, that's not my job!) the SSM threads scattered throughout the forum: Des Sulivan's forum profile: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/profile/41-weshty/ Member number 41, that's old school!

Mayner Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Probably best to e-mail Des at dezsullivan@gmail.com if you are unable to connect to the SSM site. A HTTP 404 error code has come up for several weeks. My anti-virus would not let me connect 'expired certificate" when I tried Galteemore's link and the error code appeared when I overrode the antivirus. But managed to connect when I ran a separate search! Like the old Provincial Wagons Web Site its probably not worthwhile for SSM to renew their cert/update the site because of high hosting costs and low level of demand for kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
