I thought this DVD was a pretty good one but I can't be too picky because video footage of the SP narrow gauge is hard to come by. The film quality is excellent and the footage covers the line from Keeler to Laws pretty extensively. Most of the footage shows #18 running but later in the video #8 and #9 make a few appearances. It mostly covers the early to mid 50s and fortunately doesn't show the #9 in its god awful gawdy hollywood paint scheme from the late 50s. The DVD loses points because the maps are pretty cheesy (looks like they were made in Microsoft Paint and not done very clean). The sound is synced up from stock recordings and is probably not the original sound but for the most part it matches up pretty well. My only real complaint with the sound is that not once in the whole video do you see or hear a whistle blown.
