You will not be snoozing through this program. The NKP 765 and its' crew do what Lima designed it to do-RUN, at some decent track speeds. I would note also that the engineer knows where the whistle cord is! The program does repeat quite a bit, but the sight of the 765 really running on the high-iron is what sets this program apart. Audio is really sharp and clear and will test your speakers. The video is also sharp. A quality production. The last part of the disc consists of previews, which only wets the apetite for steam.
