I Was Betrayed.... But We've Got A New Video!

Yes, I was unfortunately betrayed by a former friend of mine in a way that I don't even feel like discussing it here. Anyways, time for the video of the week!
 A very good friend of mine, after taking a hiatus has made his thirteenth model showcase (which is funny because it was uploaded on the same day I uploaded my thirteenth showcase!). You should go check it out. It's pretty cool.

Oopsies.

Alright, I might have lied. I'm only going to do the "featured video" once every week. But sometimes there are things you need to talk about.
JD41796, a good friend of mine on YouTube, as you know, has taken a long hiatus from making model showcases. But he did make a music video to make his fans happy, and not incessantly pester him about new modeling videos. I wanted to know why it was taking so long, and so when I was talking to him on Skype, I asked him when he was making his seventeenth model showcase video. He informed me that he would do so once he purchased a Hornby Murdoch the 9F model. So a very long time goes by, but lo and behold, I got a notification from Jesse saying his new Model Showcase was up! It was eleven minutes long, but that's nothing special seeing as how I've made 20 minute long showcases before, and my twelfth is on the way, once I can find enough ways to screw up the audio so it won't get muted by WMG FOR A THIRD TIME.... but anyways, his 17th model showcase can be viewed here, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

Updates And New Featured Video

So, yeah, as you might know by now, I recently bought Bachmann Donald and Douglas from Charles Ro Train Store in Malden, MA. Here are the two twins together! They are both very detailed (devil is in the detail, after all), and they're very strong, as they managed to pull all of my rolling stock (2 regular trucks, a salt wagon, a fuel tanker, Annie & Clarabel, Emily's coaches and Gordon's express coach) altogether. They do run very nicely, and I'd recommend buying them. For prices, I got them both for around $44.95. I think at some other places they're around $77.00, as that's what Simierski said in his review of Bachmann Donald and Douglas. The best advice I can give is to go out and shop around to look for affordable prices. But if you live near Malden, MA, you can get them cheap!
Now it's expected that I'm going to do the featured video of the week, so I won't disappoint you, and especially because I found a good video. I'm only going to be updating my blog once a week with the updates of that week and the featured video. But I'm going out on a tangent here, so anyways, this video was by a brand new YouTube member who actually joined the site yesterday (well, at least where I live, he's Australian, and I'm not entirely sure what their time zone is..) and I have to say, he's got some pretty good modeling skills. So if you want to see his work, you should go check out his video.

New Website and New Thing For 2012

This is my Roblox website, and it isn't yet completed, but I do have a lot of Character Information Profiles, etc, along with a download link to a new episode I've made: 

Also, I'm now doing a Featured Video of the week. Note, this is all based on my opinion, so I will not accept requests asking to feature videos whether they're from you or someone else. Anyways, for this week, the featured video is called "Double Whammy." It is a fan-made episode using Wooden Railway models, that apparently was made to tie-in to the upcoming release of Blue Mountain Mystery. This user has made several videos like this beforehand, like Stepney Makes An Entrance, Bon Voyage, The Old Warrior, etc.
Episode Description (From The Original Video):
An unexpected runaway causes Sir Handel to make a startling discovery. Meanwhile, the engines and the Thin Controller express their grievances about Duke's unsightly and horrendous excuse for a shed. Fortunately, a swift solution to both problems presents itself, with surprising results!
