I find the wet stuff is best, in fact, I'd go as far as to say "the wetter the better"!

I wouldn't recommend using dehydrated water (or dessicated water), without diluting it first.

All further info regarding the Video Competition can now be obtained from TTHLRMatt, who now has now taken over

Perceived apathy or lack of feedback on contributions to this forum.

YouTube does indeed have an on-line video editor

Paul was a member during the (very) early months of the forum, but he drifted away quite early on Thanks Chris, we certainly lost a valuable asset there! :cry: Not only was the railway truly inspirational, but of course he's now set up the Farcebook Narrow Gauge Garden Railways page (where as an oc...

The editing is all done in Windows Movie Maker before uploading to You Tube.
I'm not aware of any editing facilities on You Tube itself, I just use it as an on-line host.
Quite happy to discuss details via PM if you're stuck

I suppose I have played it a little fast'n'loose with the actual definition Chris It's more of a "teaser"announcement - but hopefully there'll be a proper trailer to follow just to whet your appetites a little further

Correct!

and your right Chris, but I think the countdown's delayed since this years dates are 16th and 17th of November - it's also a "Fun Run" this year with no prizes, but I expect the number and level of entries will be as high as ever since it's such a pro-active forum

For anyone travelling north on the M1 to Elsecar next weekend. Please be aware that for two weekends on the trot now, I've witnessed HUGE queues northbound due to ongoing roadworks. Basically the queue starts around the M18 junction and continues until way past Sheffield, with standing traffic in pl...

It appears that Brinsley Lodge is "full" and the shed foreman is having a fit - rumour has it that the T.I.T.S film crew have also been spotted out-and-about

Here's an unusual one - for some reason, BLODWEN is seen here visiting the Waingroves Quarry running shed
