Welcome to "Steam on the Web" the website which attempts to bring the sight and sounds of preserved steam locomotives to the internet.

It is my intention to update the site as events unfold throughout the year, so please feel free to visit on a regular basis.

Please click on the links to the left of the screen to navigate the site.

Clicking on the pictures will result in the video being played. In order to save precious bandwidth I would be grateful if you would download each video once only. This is achieved by right clicking on the picture and selecting "Save Target as" to save the files to your hard disk.

NB The files require Windows Media Player, Realplayer or a package such as IrfanView. Apologies to those who use non-Microsoft operating systems.

Please remember that the video quality is compromised by heavy compression. For the best effect the clips should be played on a high screen resolution with plenty of sound!

Important: several large videos and some of the older videos are resident on "You Tube". I am hoping to embed these videos eventually when I have worked out how to get "You Tube" to play an embedded video in high quality.

Problems playing the clips in Vista?

Right-click on the picture of a clip (not You Tube clips) and save target as a filename to a location in which you can subsequently find the file (eg Desktop).

Right click the file thus saved and click open with, followed by choose program then tick the small box which states always use the selected program with this kind of file then choose Windows Media Player (or any other compatible player).  You can then delete the file and in future play them by clicking on the pictures.

Please remember that the video quality is compromised by heavy compression. For the best effect the clips should be played on a high screen resolution with plenty of sound!

Any feedback is welcome.
