Snapshots no. 1: Scale & gauge defined

Bob, I enjoy operating my Williams Pennsy FA A-As very much. They run smoothly and have a nice scale-like appearance to them. I usually run them pulling a string of 12 Atlas Industrial Rail Pennsy hoppers (plus a few other road names mixed in) and one of my 4 MTH Pennsy woodside “Mae West” cabooses. They look great as they snake their way around my layout on the double track main line.

Hi Bob, I have the WBB FA-1 A+A in Rock Island colors (because I couldn’t get them in Milwaukee Road colors, lol.) and they are indeed scale engines. Unfortunately I had to acquire an Atlas O Trainman caboose in RI colors because the WBB is not scale and looks very toy-like.

Anyway, keep up the good work with your videos!

Where does the O-27 fit???

Terry, watch Snapshot 2 regarding track. It discuses O-27 track at about the 1 minute mark.

The videos will not load or show up on the webpage, I have downloaded the current version of Adobe Reader and reinstalled it to no avail, what is the problem?

All other content will load on CTT

I just checked it with my desktop and iPad and it played fine. Call our customer service section at 800-533-6644 during normal business hours. They are our point of contact for resolving conflicts.

The Snapshot video’s will not load on my i-pad. Black video screen with the message “Error loading player; no playable sources found”. However, I went to all of the other topics that offer video’s, i.e.; bob’s Train Box, layout visits, Professor Carp, etc and they all played fine.

Ditto with rest of them. Same error message on iPad. Your video far link don’t address IOS. Apple won’t use adobe flash. Do you plan to support iOS or are you stuck in the Microsoft and android mode? IOS rules a large part of the world. I suggest you address the issue if you want this to be successful. This is the lead in video. In normal cases I would bail out right now and never return. Think about it
