So long as I could take the laptop with me and there was an electrical supply - other than for the electric shock treatment - and acces to the internet, there might be something to gain from a long stay at the funny farm. I wouldn't have to worry about paying bills, etc. and could devote myself fulltime to my task.
I have already described it as the equivalent of the Seven Labours of Hercules - I'm not referring to Steptoe and Son's horse of course but to Greek mythology, or is that Greek tragedy?????
Oh well back to train driving.

Despite not being an ardent steam fan i was much impressed with the sight of the A4 pulling the Royal Scotsman out of Edinburgh. Have just watched all four parts and enjoyed them all - bit of a problem because it took up valuable time that could have been spent developing my TRAINSET, but . . .
Anyway congratulations on a fine set of videos, hopefully promoting the many benifits of MSTS to a wider public.

PS When will I be able to fit in the time to learn how to create videos . . .

Thank you Ruf. I was hoping to continue with The Royal Scotsman Tour of Scotland, but I have been having trouble with Windows Movie Maker. This programme as well as putting all the different clips together to make the video, it also converts it, so that it can be shown in Media Player and to be able to upload it to one of the hosts, such as YouTube. It seems that anything over five minuite duration, will not convert. I don't know why, but I had no problems before. So I have given up with continuing with the Royal Scotsman, as each Part needs to be at least 9 to 10 mins duration, otherwise it would go on for ever to complete.
Since then, I have been doing shorter videos.
