TurboTrain - first test shots

[ek2000]

Was just on your site browsing newsletters and announcements and it occurred to me to check TRW one more time this night to find the video posted. Yay !

Sorry for the thread drift here, but what I found the most humorous in the newsletter was folks asking for your drawings. How innocent !

Are there any minimum radius recommendations for this set?

You know, some people (like me) don't have FB account.    Any way I can see the video without logging into my (non-existent) login?  I can't watch it without logging into that evil website.    While I know that I'm in a minority here, I'm sure I'm not alone.

Pete,

You don't need a FB account to watch the video.

Sometimes, but not always, you can see Facebook content if you drop the "s" in "https".

If you click on the "direct link" posted above, and then click on "Not Now" at the bottom of the pop-up 'log in' window, are you not able to then play the video?

No - the donut in the middle of the video just keeps on spinning.  Maybe I'll try another browser or another computer.

Does selecting a specific (or lower) resolution instead of 'auto' make any difference?
If you pause the video, does the gray progress bar indicate that it is continuing to load?

Thanks for hints. It is just a black rectangle with a spinning donuts in the middle. I have no controls to play with.  I'll mess around with it tomorrow.

Also, if your browser is using Adobe flash player, make sure the version is up to date.

Thanks Jason!  I had no problem viewing that one.  Looking good!

That was a great video.  Unfortunately, at the end it said "order by March 26th". Just when I thought I'd managed to avoid succumbing to temptation, they've moved the order deadline...
I really don't need one of these, but they sure look good in that video!
