First let me say that Railway Productions are one of my favorite producers and I generally like their products. However, IMO this one's a clinker. The first half (approximate) of the disc is devoted to the Heber Valley RR in Utah with the remainder of the disc devoted to the Durango & Silverton RR in Colorado. The scenery in both halves is great. Otherwise, in their respective halves the entire subject matter is devoted to runbys by the same train, albeit at different locations. If you like repeated runbys by the same train then you'll enjoy this disc, but that isn't for me. The portion on the D&S did show some switching activity, in making up the train and later in repositioning two of the passenger cars. But, essentially, that's it. The photography is excellent (I watched in Blue Ray) and the narration, as usual for RP was adequate and descriptive. With RP one always knows what's happening and, usually, why it's happening. I like that. Western Winter Steam DVD Phil Goulding on 2010-08-09 02:52:40.

The steam and smoke effects in this video are truly magic to see. Great film quality and production. Highly recommended for all steam fans. |
