Rhaetian Railway – Prototype and H0m Model Railroading

How this website is made

Text

      Since my switch from Windows to MacOS in late 2003, I have been using the HTML editor → skEdit. It's not free, but the US$ 20.– are well invested.

      I like to keep full control over every single character in my HTML code, and I want to have web pages that pass the World Wide Web Consortium's → validation program. No Optimized for … pages (which really means “limited to …”), but simply syntactically correct standard XHTML! Admittedly, if you write pages this way, you have to learn some (X)HTML, but that's not an impossible task.

      All internal and external links are regularly checked with the program → BLT (Braxton's Link Tester). I perform these checks in three- to six-months intervals; if you find a “dead” link before I notice it, please let me know.

 

Pictures

      About one year ago, in early 2007, I finally went digital. Now, all pictures are taken with digital Nikon cameras, a D1X for serious work and a Coolpix L11 as always-in-my-pocket camera. For post-processing, I use → Graphic Converter and Nikon Capture NX.

 

Contents

      Most pages are written because I think that this or that topic might be of interest to my readers. Occasionally, however, a readers's comment or question triggers a new page with a new topic – the pages about Names of RhB Locomotives and the Mallet locomotives are typical examples.

      I don't have many models, as I do not have the space and, even more limiting, the time to build a layout.
      What I do have, however, is a rather well-stacked library about the RhB, and I seldom think twice before buying a book. You will find that you still learn something even from the third book about the same subject, which means that you can never have enough literature.

      So, if there is a topic that you would like to see covered on my site, just let me know, and I will see what I can do about it.
