Replying to several - First, thanks for the compliments. I had a lot of fun with this one.
On the videos - I changed the gallery format to one that may be a bit more friendly to videos. In this format, Smugmug (the host for my photo site) has a few hints under the videos. The best bet, if you're having trouble is to try their directions about downloading the photo to your computer. On the OptioMX - This is the original three megapixel version. It is a great size, smaller than most of my lenses, and slips right into a lens pocket in my camera bag. I rarely use it for stills, but use it as a video complement to the istD. The mpeg-4 gives great results and relatively compact files. The files on the site are mpeg-1 as required by Smugmug. On the locomotive size - yeah, this thing is big. The diesel loco that will be moved in April is just as impressive. It's 98 feet long, It has two diesel engines on one giant frame. Here's a link for a bit of info. (Pat - it's a lot bigger than an SD40) <http://www.steamlocomotive.com/centennials/> The two will be displayed together on a site that is clearly visible from Interstate 80 as you cross the bridge from Iowa into Nebraska. See you later, gs
