Don't know if it is just me, but I've been unable to watch any of your videos right through.

I have 576K broadband, and the videos just seem to run so far then stop. Clicking the play button gets it to go a bit further. There also seems to be no progress loading indication like you get with a YouTube or Photobucket video.

I'll keep trying, as the South Downs Light Railway was one I failed to find when it was previously the Garden Railway centre railway.

hmm, not sure why thats happening.

there is a loading bit, its a lighter gray bit on the bar. i think the location dot on the bar normally covers the end........

I guess your files must be a bit big, as I found the option to open the files in Windows Media Player, but I got about 2/3rds through one of the South Downs Light Railway videos and it stuck on the buffering download.

Anyway from what I've managed to see of your video the South Downs Light Railway looks like a great little railway, and I'll put it on my 'must visit' list should I ever get down south again. Looks like I'll be working in Aberdeen full-time again, so I'll be even further north than Glasgow!

Yeah, those vids are great :D . I really like the long one of the south downs railway.

A couple of questions. Where is that railway, and when is it open?

Yeah, I hope so to. My family own a large caravan, and during the summer, we oftern go on holiday to various parts of the UK (or the french alps as was the case last summer :D ). For a while now, I've been trying to presaude my parents for us to go to the south-west, so I can visit the narrow gauge and miniture gauge railways down there. They're slowly begining to like the idea :D .
