I can;t seem to find the trains to and from various cities on RailEurope.com to plan my trip. When I went to Europe in 2007, I had no trouble getting the timetables including all stops. What am I doing wrong?

Steve's advice is good, forget RailEurope. The Bahn, and use the http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en, not Bahn.de, works with the company that schedules trains all over Europe.
RailEurope is a ticket reseller. They mark tickets up over and above the counter price in Europe, and they only show prices for trains they sell, and those are only the most expensive train. There are a lot more trains, and often that's where the bargains are.
Also, the best prices, non-refundable, advance purchase discount tickets, are only sold by the national rail companies, not by RailEurope.
