I wish I could do some longer Videos, as a 3 minute Video can take about 4 hours to up-load onto You Tube.

Hi Andy, Reminder how to fix this video upload problem, use OneDrive. 1) compress (Handbrake) 2) upload (use oneDrive at www.outlook.com) and 3) get a link you can share - this can be done within File Explorer as per https://1drv.ms/v/s!Au252AreD6BYmj15UDOMjAwnIxlY recently recorded, upload was barely 2 minutes for 50MB 1.5min video. Oh yes, I'm on another speed fix. BTW did you see my PM from earlier in our trip? Seems you have a follower in Japan! Colin 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Hi Colin, I have your PM re Handbrake, but that has only reduced the up load time from about 6 hours for 3 minute video down to 3 to 4 hours. I've not received a PM from you since you sent the info on Handbrake Colin. Cheers mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you can upload your files using a file manager (say "File Explorer", get a link and post that link into your post as per my demo. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Andy mate, you are such a power house in the world of layout building. I'm slipping up - as you have probably sussed by the numerous likes I've just added - I've only just found this new thread. Although not quite my era it looks great and seems to have loads of operational interest. Oh, and big engines on a small layout, what's not to like! All the best with this one Andy, Regards, Brian. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I had a nice Running Session this evening, but just the one photo and two short Videos that are now up loading, 1 min 11 seconds, shrunk to 24.6MB whatever that is using Handbrake as recommended by Colin, but our line speed must be slow, and it's been running now for almost 2 Hours. In the meantime here is the only pic. Edited April 23, 2019 by Andrew P miss spleling 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dear Mr Peters I am going to have to take issue with you and how you coupled up the loco to the coach. The procedure should be, the loco halts 6 feet, or 2 meters (in 1/76 th scale about 1 inch/25mm) away for the coach. The shunter then calls the loco forward until the buffers are in slight compression. He jumps down and hooks up the screw link coupling, and tightens this up. He then has to connect the brake pipes and any heating connections or pipes. After doing so he climbs back on the platform and informs the driver, who can then do the brake test etc. When all is OK the shunter can inform the guard who will do his own brake test before giving the driver the right away. Not just bang up , knock it into reverse and be off. But it has sound so it is realistic 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has sound so it is realistic Hi Clive Old Boy, Thanks for the detailed and enlightening information above, had it been a Passenger Coach then yes, you may well be right, but surely with an Old Baggage Van just being moved to another Siding, would they still have gone through all that rigmarole? If the 08 had move the Old Baggage Van then it would have just hooked the thing up and dragged it away. I always stand to be corrected by the good Professor of course, and will await further updates as to my operation in this matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
