Can't watch latest TrainmasterTV video - get an error

I'm logged into TrainmasterTV and can watch any video except the most recent one on modeling roads.  When I choose that one it asks me to log in again and if I attempt to do so I get an error message and can't watch the video.

Roanoke Blue Ridge & Western (RBR&W) Paint Schemes

Hello again MRH Community!

 

Due to the comments and interest about my prototype-based freelanced railroad, I've decided to do another post. This one will contain the diesel paint schemes of the railroad from the first diesels until the latest models.

 

Passenger Paint Scheme: Used on all RBR&W passenger units from delivery until Amtrak

Switcher Paint Scheme As-Delivered: Used on all RBR&W switchers delivered from ALCO, BLW, EMD, and FM

Some Great News (for me and maybe you too)

If you read the title you may realize not everyone will enjoyed y this but I am one great step,closer in model railroading. I emailed three major manufacturers on the subject of product review samples. I have so far heard back from BLI anf Atlas asking for more information. So hopefully in the near future I will be posting product reviews for those interested. The best part of all of this though is one: I can share some information on products and tWo: FREE STUFF
