| This page showcases all of our Railroad related home videos. They include full length edited movies as well as short clips. All movies were produced by us. Right now, there are about 6 hours of movies available to view. The movies are completely free. Hope you enjoy. A tip for downloading. It works best to save the video to your desktop and watch it from there. To save the video, simply right click your mouse (on PCs), highlight "save target as" and click save. However, if you wish to view streaming, you're more than welcome to just click on the video links. The Quicktime movies may be required to download to view and may not stream properly. Note for dial up users: I attempted to resize these movies to make them easier to download for dial-up, but the quality was so poor, it wasn't worth uploading to the site. So, for now, most movie files are large and optimized for broadband, dsl and other fast connections. Sorry. Thanks, Enjoy the videos! Brian McCamish Gresham, Oregon USA |
