No - no success here. Tried using the two 'code' buttons on the editor and either I've got he syntax wrong or the system doesn't seem to be working.

Maybe Paul can shed some light on it.

I understand there is free software for this but when I have tried to install it you get sidetracked into these "You have a million registry errors do you want us to fix them" type of scenario and if you say yes they say enter your credit card details, so I give up. I get very wary of these downloads which go off at tangents offering you things you don't want

Post the URL!
I'm far to much of a Luddite to cope with code, and nasty brain stretching things like that!

Thanks guys, It's just that, on another train forum I'm on, you simply paste in the "Embed" code from Youtube and it works - very disappointing the embedded vid's look so much more inviting than a link!.

PGDCODE seems not to like HTML

I might have cracked it...


<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bbKZR3qJDxQ?hl=en_GB&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bbKZR3qJDxQ?hl=en_GB&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

BUT NO

No grapes for the Cognac distillery next door - they grow underground here, don't you know

If my memory serves me correctly, this forum does not support embedded videos. They can take up a huge amount of server memory and this is a free forum after all.
If I'm wrong I am sure another mod will remind me!

I didn't know it was your diesel in the first video - very good. The only thing that puts me off, and this is no criticism of your excellent job, is the noise of the engine.

As regards engineering (mechanical & electrical) it embodies the spirit and principles of the full size loco and is well put together indeed

Thanks for posting Brian.

There's a difference between uploading a video (which would indeed fill the server) and embedding a video hosted on another site eg youtube. Seems folk can't get embedding to work on this forum. I've not tried.

I do remember seeing one embedded once by someone so i tried the next time and since but have failed

 

[shropshire lad]

I managed to embed a youtube video once but never managed to do it again!

hmmmm!

Good point. My mistake. never would make much of a geek, me.

Just to put you right it's NOT my diesel in the first video, it has been built by another Expat Brit here in France, Carl Hibbs for yet another Expat Van Calvert. Mine is a copy of Carl's diesel but much less well engineered.
