If you're curious as to what Pentrex produces, or can't decide on what you want, or... whatever, then DVD is just for you. 43 different titles to choose from, and all sound great to watch. And with a low price, can't be beat. ;)

What a super buy! Over 2 hours of every type of U.S. train imaginable, from every type of location, in sharp detail.
I have holidayed in the U.S. (mainly the Rockies), many times, and the scenery on these clips brings back wonderful memories.
The DVD is a Pot-Pourri of American railroading, with just enough of each section to inform, marvel and enjoy.
Volume 2 is on my Christmas list!!

I look to these video previews for my future Pentrex Purchases.

My wife asked me "why do you enjoy Preview movies?", and I gave a couple reasons but stated that it is also the "variety". There is plenty of that, 2 1/2 hours worth. She watched it for a while and even though she is not a real train fan, she did see some quote "gift ideas". The best part of all is the price. It's a low investment for a lot of enjoyment.
It's a video production well worth the purchase. No disappointment here.
