this is my first review of a highball productions program at first i thought of not trying they're stuff after they merged with pentrex but i decided to try they're stuff (can't hold a grudge against that forever) gears in the woods takes a look at operations on the cass scenic railroad in cass west Virginia in the spring of 2011 starting with a Carl Franz photo freight and the railroads annual railfan weekend event with a few of their operating Geared type shay locomotives the ones on this trip include nos. 5 4 11 and western Maryland 6 (known as the big 6) i'm surprised that Heisler no. 6 didn't operating unless it was going under repairs or they decided to run a few of the shay's for this event i'm glad i gave highball i chance this was pretty good i'll have to look into a few more of their products Gears In the Woods - Shays At Cass DVD TRAINMASTER (Hendersonville NC) on 2011-11-13 08:49:37.

Peter Cook's narrative skills keep improving, his video skills are already top notch. Rock solid images, crystal clear audio are evident in the release. While I would have liked a little more narration, what is provided is adequate and informative. I would liked to have seen more of the shops and the activity there. Cass put on a class act and Highball certainly captured it. If U like steam and geared locomotives U can't miss with this one. Given the length of the program it's well worth the $ Gears In the Woods - Shays At Cass DVD rrvideoman (Delisle Saskatchewan) on 2020-04-01 16:56:50.
Shay engines are unique being gear driven power. The video is a nice presentation of these interesting machines. I am not a fan of runby action, nor of the pillars of smoke the engines are seen putting out. But, being a weekend for the rail fans, it can be understood why it was done. That said, a 30 minute video would have been enough. Gears In the Woods - Shays At Cass DVD Steamboy (Revere MA US) on 2017-02-03 05:32:03.
Like all of the other shows, the quality of the footage is awesome, the narration is minimal as always, and the shays however are 100% interesting to look at, when you're on vacation in the mountains. Gears In the Woods - Shays At Cass DVD Rail Buff (Southern California) on 2016-01-24 14:49:46.
Started out very interesting but then became boring. Nothing but many, and I mean MANY, run-bys of the same four Shays hauling three or four cars each (reminded me of a child's toy train set) with almost non-stop whistling which became very tedious. Of course this was a Railfan weekend so I should have been warned and more alert. Also LOTS of smoke, which I don't like. Probably more smoke in a day from each loco than each would produce in a month of actual service. I know they do it for the fans but I still don't like it. I do like the narrator's (Peter Cook?) voice and presentation, though I could have used more. Gears In the Woods - Shays At Cass DVD Locomotive64 (Belgium) on 2012-10-31 04:10:03.
