N scale kits and Peter Harris?

  I received the same message this morning.

Not sure how much longer I should wait.  10 more days will be 3 months and only one email response to my three(1 per mon).  I'm trying to be patient but not getting some kind of update is making me think I may have lost my money.

I just tried this link and was warned that someone might be trying to steal my data and it never went to his web site..
Doesn't sound cool!

It has a certificate problem and the browser (Firefox in my case) did not like it so gave the warning.  Probably means that Peter allowed the CA certificate to expire.

I get the same warning if I go to the link provided on this thread. HOWEVER...

http://nscalekits.co.uk/index.html   (which was provided as the link when I did a duck duck go search)

works fine, although it is an http vs https.

The certificate expired in 2016

Anybody ever figure out what happened?  Totally dark now, original URL expired, UK one still has the certificate error.

I was checking on that the other day - didn't learn anything.

A year ago, Peter was in the hospital: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=58405.msg821329#msg821329

That list says "last public show" not "2026 public show"  but that list isn't accurate either, since he didn't make Kansas City, and I'm not there either. So I wouldn't put any faith in that....

OK, I know for certain Peter and his wife are planning to be at the NSE convention this year.  My wife has regular Zoom meetings (usually monthly) with Peter's wife, and they are planning to make the trip.  My wife is very disappointed because we will not be able to make it to Milwaukee.

Well, perhaps someone will inform Peter that many modelers have been inquiring, but there is no apparent way to contact him? (ie N Scale Kits)

I will be happy to carry the message to Peter and Mrs Peter. They need to know that people are very confused as to status on their offerings.

I think being a one person shop with health problems has slowed a lot of folks down. We have a similar problem with our app builder this year. Health problems and being a solo builder leaves us without our app again this year, so we will be doing mass texting for communication.

As the hobby continues to "gray", this is going to become more of a thing we all must deal with. Our hpbby has a LOT of cottage industry, and that makes it hard when in the rest of life we are used to larger
 businesses.

Awesome - thanks George!

George, were you able to communicate with Peter Harris?
