Yellow signal for TMTS

News release from PI Engineering:

As you have probably noticed, in the last few weeks our website announcements and news have slowed somewhat. You may have also picked up from our previous story that the professional side of TrainMaster is booming.

What it adds up to is that we are currently inundated with professional and commercial work for our TrainMaster simulation platform. These jobs have real schedules and real deadlines...and we have only so many resources we can assign to them. As a result we have decided that a week at the E3 conference in June and a similar time commitment for the NMRA show in Philadelphia in July is not justified. Besides the attendance time for personnel, these shows take up an enormous amount of preparation time, time we just can't afford right now. So we have decided to withdraw from both these shows.
