Seaboard Central 2.0

Not enough Conrail  , just kidding Dave.  Nice test of the Atlas SD35's plus the Inter mountain SD45-2 bringing up the rear. I am digging all those Southern waffle side box cars

It's something new and annoying with YouTube vs. embedded videos. I just right-click to get the direct URL and open a new tab with it.

It's not really a YouTube issue, but a HTML5 issue somewhere between this forum and the browser (I'm assuming Chrome).  If you load this same page in IE or use an extension to disable HTML5 in Chrome, full screen works fine.

When I click the full screen button I get this:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6276924

Sounds like this website doesn't allow full screen. My Chrome is set to allow full Screen.

My Chrome is set to allow full Screen.

Where's that?  It may not be what you think.

I click the little icon in front of https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=25551.2130  Then go to site settings under permissions.

I think you're just disabling the pop-up that asks if it's okay to go full screen, not really giving permission to do it or not.

Regardless, it's the forum that is creating this issue. When it's creating the HTML5 iFrame tags, it's not writing in the 'allowfullscreen' variable.

This is what it should look like 

Code: [Select]

<iframe width="600" height="315" src="[youtube]6leNqzd0igc[/youtube] frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And this is what it is there when you look at the page source

I'll just focus on the part where I said this site doesn't allow full screen, that way I'm right! 

Maybe @tom mann can fix it

Meanwhile, on the Seaboard Central, I'm up to an eighty-car train.  I've run out of track-worthy cars without digging through the scrap box or adding intermodal cars.  I think adding 89' flats might be pushing my luck.

@Chris333 @wcfn100 I have fixed the full screen issue.

[Chris333]

Thanks! 

I'm pretty sure 80+ cars would not fit on my just one door. If I got the car length just right I could couple the front to the back.

Heh, that's what I'm trying to get up to.  You'd be surprised at how much slack in the couplers this train has, so it won't be such a trick to get the final car length correct.  I think it will take close to ninety cars before I run out of mainline.  But, I've got to scrape together a few more cars first.

Done!  The ultimate in roundy-round!  Two SD50s, one SD45-2, and eighty-seven cars.  This turned out to be quite the challenge.  When the three locomotives were together, I was stringlining the coal hoppers not far behind the SD50s.  I also had to move a number of cars around, because of truck-mounted couplers.  I ended up moving the SD45-2 about one-third of the way from the rear of the train, because I needed more weight off of the front cars.  As you can see in the video below, the train is actually running reliably now.  I'm very surprised.

On another note, if MBK ever gets around to shipping my order, I've got three SBD GP38-2s that will soon be joining the roster.  They'll need to be broken in, so, now that this experiment is over, I can tear this monster train down, to prepare and make room for delivery of new motive power.

Time to take out the wall!!

@davefoxx that's a great video. Not only does it showcase some awesome locks doing their thing, but it's a great overall shot of the whole railroad. It really shows how various parts relate to each other.
