FINNALY!
I have started after 6yrs of “…we’ll build it next summer…”
1.7 meg video with sound, dial up beware
and if your at work, turn the sound down before you play. [:)]
Kevin
Could not get it to work in Firefox or IE, firewall on or off.

Looks like you’re off to a good start. Keep us posted on the progress.
Later,

It seems to work for my Firefox at work, not just home, work Firefox is Ver. 2.0.0.6
its a quicktime movie, so maybe you dont have apple’s quicktime plug in.
Kevin
Nope that’s not it. I have the plug in. It tries to load up, I get the quicktime “Q” then it goes to a broken image “Q”, quite odd! May be a ISP (VerizonFIOS) problem.
-Brian
Looking GREAT, keep us posted
Ron
My browser goes to the site but doesn’t play anything. All I get is a blank screen. I must not be holding my mouth right.
Rex
Kevin. Great start. Keep us posted on the progress. Jack
Ok, here is the Gscale folder the movie is sitting in…
http://www.vermontel.net/~kevin_ondre/G_scale_Train/
you can see the few images are listed there and the movie file is listed there too.
you can right click on the movie file and save it to your desktop, play it, and then delete it if you wish. or try clicking on it and see if it plays in your browser that way. not sure why some can watch it and others cant…its nothing special, just a quicktime movie…
it works in my work computer (winxp) in firefox and loads in the IE7
Kevin
Worked for me in FF fine.
Looks very good so far!!
Had to play it with sound way up, bad day here! And it did cheer me up!!! Thank you [C):-)]
Looks great and next you shall have a all out yard!!! Congrats!
I have a temp update to the construction pics. just click on the link in the original post. no music this time no title screens either, so you cant tell what day is what. I will get those in there latter today maybe.
getting those little screws in the track joiners and having it as level as possible and ballasting is harder than i though it was going to be.
Kevin
It’s looking good Kevin, keep up the good work. How were you able to take over the whole area without getting in trouble??
Keep us posted,
Ron
ah…thats the trick of this layout…its large, but it takes very little yard actually. we will still be able to use the center of the yard for playing croquet and such. also there is plenty of room in the center of the yard for a bench so the wife can sit and watch the train go around and a round, which is what she really wanted, she didnt want a lot of switches.
So, we have 2 passenger stations, and 2 freight stations. so we all win. plus this design takes less time to build.
Kevin
Very nice, simple and elegent. Was there a bridge of some sort in the back corner?
So was it signed in blood? [:D][}:)]
I am hoping that its not TOO simple and that we get bored with it.
yes there is a bridge in the back corner off to the left of the pic. its a 54" span that will have a covered bridge.
it was not signed in blood, but after maggie, my wife said that she didnt like all the switches, I also noticed that was not keeping to my original plan of keeping the switches close to the edge so they could be reached easily. so I have changed the plan, for the 4th time.
Kevin
Do you have any stills you can post to your website, for those of us with prehistoric computers and dialup?
I will work on getting a photo gallary up tonight.
Kevin
Ok, so I finally got pics sized for web.
