    I haven't had luck getting on TroveStar.com lately. Anyone know anything about that?

    I love the site and it has been a big help to me. If it comes back up I'll be sure to send a donation to help keep it on the Internet,

    I just got on, but it looks like it is just HTML and text. All the graphics are missing. They must be doing some update or server maintenance

    The server hosting the TroveStar website is malfunctioning due to a hardware failure. Repair efforts are underway. (y)

    Yes, I just got on but things aren't working right at this point. Tried to use the 'donate' button but couldn't complete the action.

    Trovestar data should be available by tonight (Tuesday, 05/05/2020), but without images. Images should return by tomorrow sometime and (with luck) the site should then be fully operational. Thanks Sumner!

    You know I was going to give a donation when they were back up in 2020 and forgot to go back and do that :(. Took care of that last night.

    I don't use the site as much anymore now that I have most all the locos I was looking for but still use it enough every year that I should donate $10 at least once a year. Use to easily pay that much for magazine subscriptions and TroveStar and SpookShow give me a lot more info than some of the magazines did. Also this site and another I gain knowledge from daily do the same. A monthly or yearly donation to those is at least some contribution to help keep them here. I pay a couple hundred a year to keep my site up and these sites aren't free to keep up and they aren't getting rich off of them.
