I might be crossing the line here, (as far as recommending a website) but I have a huge interest in history, especially things, I never learned about in school. I have no financial interest in the "History Guy" or "Hardocore History" on podcasts, but I recommend them to those of you with similar interests.
Hardcore History is a good place to learn about German use of railroad to transport an army. It was huge!
This video appeared in my Youtube stream and it is more about history than modeling, tho' there are period photos.

What method are you using to add embedded video, Henry?
I notice that yours and NWP SWP video inserts leave a non-functioning black box.
You must be doing something differently? Blaming the software is like yelling at your keyboard for spelling errors
Cheers, Ed
I know how to click on the video icon.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it is the softwares fault.
There is a good representation of the train movements in volved in the Quintinshill rail accident on Wikipedia:

A similar accident, caused by a train passing red signals occured at Harrow in North London in 1952,

These trains had stronger cars and electric lighting and the loss of life was much less. But the extent of damage is much clearer as a result.

OK, just thought I could help. Maybe it's a browser thing.
Or, as you mentioned, the MR forum architecture?
Regards, Ed
gmpullmanMaybe it's a browser thing.
That's a definite possibility. Mostly I use firefox, but there are some bizarre happening with firefox.
Let me try Chrome
Baa humbug
The History Guy also has another rallroad related one about "the Day the Gauge Changed" Being a history buff, I love watching his videos.

Absolutely! I get MUCH better results with kind words and an occasional dusting.

Mine doesn't complain when I accidentally spill a drop or two of beer between the keys, too. It usually happens when I see something humorous on the monitor
