You're right Joe, this was fun. Taking abreak is oftena good idea or one can rapidly get burned out.

OUTSTANDING is an understatement, absolutle work of perfection makes me want to change my rialroad can't wait to see more
I am having trouble getting this video to work.
I am a BIG fan of the Bear Creek and South Jackson and would love to watch this video, but I am having all sorts of troubles getting it to work. I have tried watching the video on an iPad, a Kindle Fire, and a Chromebook, but with no success. First of all, when I try pressing the link for the page for this video from the MRH Theater page, it says "page not found. That page does not exist on our website. We reorganize pages occasionally, so that's probably where the page went. Please try our Google site search (upper right) if you need to locate a page." When I managed to get to THIS page previously, on my Kindle Fire, I tried downloading it as a zip file (in preparation for a road trip). However, when I opened the zip file, it was empty! Today (on my Chromebook), I tried watching the video by just pressing the photo with the "play" icon on it. This caused a box to appear on my screen, like the one below.
I'm not sure why this is happening with this particular video. Just thought I ought to mention it.
Check out the "Please Show Us Your Steam Locomotives" series, started me back in March 2020, and check out some of the cool locomotives owned by members of the Model Railroad Hobbyist forum.
The video is a swf
This particular video is a flash player video (the .swf file extension). The flash player is disabled on almost everything by default now, and support for it is going away entirely very soon. This video is just a sad casualty of technology moving on.

Does that mean we won't be able to watch it? Ever?!
Does that mean that I won't EVER be able to watch this video?

PLEASE tell me there's still hope for the future and for all the poor Adobe videos.
...
Okay, dramatics aside, I'm just wondering if there are plans to migrate these videos off the Adobe platform and make them available on the site through some other means some time in the near future. If NOT... well, guess I'll just have to live with it.

As we can ...
As we can, we're converting this old stuff to more modern formats.
So hang on, we'll find this one and get it updated.

The BC&SJ is a much better railroad now than when Charlie made that video. His skills are constantly improving. Unless you are interested in unfinished benchwork etc. -- which can be pretty interesting, you're better off with the later work. Look up http://s145079212.onlinehome.us/rr/bcsj3/index.html
I just wish we heard from
I just wish we heard from Charlie more often.
