If someone was describing it to me. I would have laughed and said "SILLY idea", never happen.

This is the most amazing thing I ever seen. I would love to see it in real life.

Some people can do great things.

Does anyone know how I could save the video on my hard drive.

There are (or were 5 years ago) a couple (about 1/24) wood models of the Bradford and Foster Brook (aka Pegleg) Railroad trains at the Oil Heritage Museum just south of Bradford, Pa.

I found this postcard of that operation on evilBay this morning....wish it was a better scan.

I'd post the auction number, but 1. I'm not sure if it violates board rules. and 2. This board program still discriminates against Firefox users by not allowing us to copy and paste along with using other features (please consider changing this!)

Go out to CNet Central http://www.cnet.com/ They have seveal FREE (shareware) utilities that will allow you do download videos from Youtube. I have used "Any Video Converter" with great success. "AVC" will also allow you to convert the saved file for use on your computer, and a large selection of hand held devices (iPod etc.)  It is "bug" and "banner" free.  You can select a number of vids to download and execute all at once.  After each use there is a popup window that offers a "Professional" version if you want to purchase it.  I did and it works a bit faster and has a few more "bells and whistles" (which I have not had the need to use yet.)
