Sorry to say I was disappointed with this DVD the quality of the photography narration's and locations don't do the KCS run from Heavener OK to Mena AR any justice and compared to other Railway Production DVD's I have the photo quality is not there. I've railfaned this KCS Sub many times and I'm familiar with most of the locations and best times to photograph it. This DVD is photographed with most shots done at high noon or looking into the sun causing the the sides and front of the trains to be showed sometimes beyond recognition, most locations are ether missed or poorly photographed. This is a good DVD for Railway Production to do over with better coverage. Here's some other KCS DVD's that are well worth the money, Pelts Express just released an excellent KCS DVD with coverage from Kansas City to Mena AR over the Ozarks and Rich Mountain, Penterx has two that are also nice. I look forward to having Railway Production's redo this DVD.

Additional remarks by Mysp7377: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?I doubt it. Image quality:A little rough around the edges. DVD Value:Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Recommend to others?Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

FIRST OFF anything put out by railway productions is on poor quality discs!!!! Aside from shaky camera work to scenes that freeze for the moment and outright streaky blank spots in the picture while watching i give this disc a thumbs down!!!!! It is not the subject matter but the quality of the disc!!! Buy Highball Productions over Rich Mountain much better quality and their blu-ray disc are top notch!!! NEVER buy railway production disc again!!!!
