John,
Are you using the EMBED option?
Grab the embed code from the YouTube video (directly on the video): right click in OPERA (copy embed code); right click in FireFox (Copy embed code); right click in Chrome (get embed code);right click in IE (get embed code).
In the reply window click on “insert/edit video” button in the top row (looks like a movie frame), and select “Embed”.
Paste the embed code (copied from YouTube) in the box and click “OK”.
Joe, I’m using Safari on a Mac. Followed your instructions to a T and it is a '“no go”.

That is a fine looking train John.
Hey John, that’s a great looking train. Are those cars handmade by yourself? If so, would you be willing to share how you built them?
Thank you sir,
Matt
Matt,
Yes, I built them. The trucks are Accucraft trucks. Couplers are a combination of Ozark and Wiseman. Wood is basswood, with brass strips and other bits of hardware. I didn’t take any pics during the build.
I started out with red paint, but switched to MOW gray to be different.
Those are pretty slick, is there a specific spot that you get your hardware? Is most of it cosmetic aside from the pins holding the straps in?
Mostly cosmetic. The pins do attach the brass. The coupler pocket is removable and you can insert knuckles if you desire. There are spikes on the cross beams to help hold the logs. Pins and brass all from Mcmaster Carr.
