Tutorial Video 003 Seems to be Missing
Hello! First time poster here. Just got my very first Hornby live steamer a few days ago and I am THRILLED to join the club of OO live steamers!
I was going through the OOLS getting started tutorials and noticed that video 003 External Inspection was linked to the wrong video (It is linked to video 002). Does anyone have the correct link for that video they can share? Also figured I'd mention it so that it can be corrected on the website too.
Thanks!

It's also worth getting the Club DVD (I declare an interest, I made it) which is aimed much more at operating than the website videos (so far) plus a lot of fascinating history.
The Hornby DVD is useless as a teaching aid, it is more of a sales tool and was actually made with 12v locos with fake smoke!
The DVD also draws attention to some serious errors in the Hornby Operators Manual which are more likely to lead you to a crash than a smooth slow acceleration to a safe and realistic speed.
Tablet of stone; your first runs should be on a rolling road, even a home made one rather than the track oval. Connect up just the short straight power track, put the tender on it (that's where it takes in its power), support the front bogie and let the 6 driving wheels dangle. Play to your hearts content with no risk of crashing and you just might just survive the misleading instructions.
Good luck and do tell us of you first experiences.
