Ken, that's what I'd call a good weekend! But what's up with that first photo?

He looks like he just took a kick to the gut! Big Smile

My guess says he told Mom he was going to his friends to do homework, not run trains, and he's hiding from the camera!  That would have been me.  ;)

This is going to be slightly off-topic, but I need some help from the Video front and I'll leave ot the experts here. I have a vid I'd love to share, but when I try to save it on Move Maker, I get an error that says

Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, or that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again

Of this, I can find and use the original source files. They're in my Program files, under the directory for the converter I use, but as far as the Tech Manager (mom) and I know, a directory is a directory is a directory, no matter where it is. I JUST created the folder it's saving into, it's in my My Documents/My Videos folder. I'm saving a 31.58MB onto a drive with 8.04GB, so space shouldn't be the issue either. So I don't know where to troubleshoot.

Flashwave: The source files have to be in the same location as they were when you imported them into Movie Maker. You can't move them to another folder or directory. It has to stay in the same one. Changing directories won't let Movie Maker find them unless you import them into the program from that same directory.

Not sure if Crisp was ashamed of being seen with my bench or all of the Tyco Hoppers! Big Smile

Not a great looking bench, but it runs well. Unless you are high balling with a Euro train.

They didn't move though, they're right where my converter saved them too. The only thing I could figure was that It didn't like importing from the Program Files

No Ken, he was employing correct sneeze into the elbow technique so as not to blast your layout with Swine-Flu bugs!

Crispy (Short for Christopher) and Andrew had a blast with your layout.  As we discovered, a Euro-star running at a scale 230 MPH does not like 18" radius curves very much!  It did rather like your long straightaways though.

It is a Hornby OO scale for anyone that cares about these things that I converted to DCC and added a rather tasty lighting rig. 

 Don't worry, we'll be back with extra throttles in hand next time.
