 | | 12V train early 70th
|
| I am looking for a 12V train engine. The train (early seventeeth) is running on a blue track with three rails (the DC current is flowing through the middle rail). (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Joshua, your reorg is great. but can you break up 12V trains into two words so that a search using theme=trains finds them all instead of just 9V and 4.5V? (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.admin.database)

| (...) 12v Trains is two words. All three (9, 4.5, 12) are. The fact that a match on theme=Trains works at all is because the indices have not gotten cleaned up yet; most all items were first "themed" at Trains, with the secondary characteristic set (...)

Awrighty, I just expanded the responsibilities of the cron job so that it now wipes out obsolete links/references in addition to reindexing new ones (...shouldda just done this originally, come to think of it).

I think what ought to happen when you type "trains" into a top-level search box is that you get back a number of train categories (one encapsulating all, and then one for each of 9v, 4.5v, 12v, and DUPLO trains, (...)
