But, I wonder, would it be OK to imbed the video so all you had to do is click the "play" > arrow and watch the video without leaving the MR site? At least the thumbnail to the video is shown here and that might count? If you wanted to watch it full screen then you would be redirected to YouTube.

Afterall, all my photos are really links that open in a Photobucket window, why not open in a YouTube window?

Maybe the rules could be modified just a tad, and perhaps, a limit could be put on the video running length so we wouldn't have to watch Gone With The Wind.

Just asking... Ed

I think the rules should be posted as each month's thread is opened.

Ed, yes embedding a video is within the rules. Also, prototype images are not allowed by the rules;model images only.

The last request was to see a Baldwin. I don't believe I saw one on Neal's tour so I think the Baldwin request still stands...

It has been about 30 hours and ShowMe has fallen off page 1. This is the best I can do for an electric motor (just to keep things moving along). An HOn30 Bull Ant drive has an electric motor:

Show me something that is diesel electric

I like MORE passenger trains!

That must be one big station to have the Century, The California Zephyr, The Hiawatha, Empire Builder and an office car all there at one time!
