Great variety of very rare locomotives and railroads ,many of which I have never seen movies of - and I have over fifty dvds and vhs movies! The quality is fair, obviously poor by todays standards, but is offset by the subject matter. I am not a fan of the synchronized sound [they NEVER really get it correct], but this better than most.
