A special Thursday treat for you - the Delaware Valley Hi Railers video in high definition. It’s a big file, but well worth the download. The high resolution 1280×720 format gives you a better opportunity to appreciate all the attention to detail in the ‘Railers enormous three-rail O-gauge setup at the Great Train Expo in Reading, PA last month. I’ve watched this video a dozen times, and every time I discover something new. (We originally published this clip in 400×225 a few weeks ago.)
It’s especially appropriate that we post this high definition version, as we met some Hi Railers who shoot in high def as well. (We had a nice chat about that.) Here’s sending a big shout out to all the Hi Railers, and best wishes as they prepare for their next big setup.
NOTE TO READERS: If you’re into the high def thing, check out this interview with Janelle Wolfe shot on the Comcast Tonight set.

A few weeks ago we posted a segment with Charlie Schaffer and Carl Zeplin and another one featuring Bonnie Wren. The same night we interviewed these three local musicians, the three of them teamed up for a rendition of “Bye, Bye Blackbird.”
Enjoy!
