Nicholis Smith Trains Webpages
Posted by david.e.knoch on Sunday, August 3, 2008 5:31 AM

Something has gone wrong with the nstrains.com page on the Internet. You cannot get to the store's pages but rather you wind up on a page leading to what appears to be pornographic material.

Has anyone else had trouble getting to this site? I wanted to verify some prices.

Looks like they may be doing some rewriting of their pages.  going to here:   www.nstrains.com  You get the webserver front page that Brian found.  Further investigation finds that that particular page is "suspended".

OTOH Go here:  http://www.nicholassmithtrains.com/store/  and you get to the place I beleive yuou wanted to go. The store at Nicholis Smith Trains.

If that has happened sounds like they got hacked.

I don't think it has been hacked.  This happens quite often when a company changes Internet Service Provider or web site host.  The filth mongers are always the first to jump in and take over the former web site's name, knowing there will be a loyal following of customers that they can peddle their material to.

Be sure to change your bookmarks! The site says its a new online store and you'll need to reregister. I have always gotten great service from them but I'm surpised they would not have emailed current registered customers about the change.
