This was a great DVD and the images were really great. I am not into German steam locos, but this video is really worth having. THE SCENERY ...PERFECT.

I'll be up front with you...I did not buy this DVD. I received it as a gift. This is my second European Railroad video, the other being the famous Swiss Glacier Express. But it is enough to make me want more! And it is in Widescreen!

<p>This video features three former East German Meter Gauge (39 ¼ inches) railroads, the Harzquerbahn, the Brockenbahn and the Seketalbahn. The three railroads form an 81-mile system in the Harz mountains in Northeastern Germany. The small 2-10-2T Saddle Tank engines of the Harzquerbahn, built between 1952 and 1956, open the program. And being filmed in the cooler months of the autumn and winter, they put on a great show with lots of steam. These engines are designed to be convenient to run “backwards” (tender-first) rather than having to be turned at the end of a run. Also seen is #5901, a Mallet built in 1897. This, too, is a Tank engine, built to run in either direction. Other highlights include double departures, servicing of the engines, and “Enthusiasts Specials”, one with a 2-10-2T and a 2-6-2T double-heading, and another with two of the 0-4-4-0T Mallets double-heading.

<p>Narration is minimal, and can be turned off. The kids will like the brightly colored European trains and their high-pitched whistles. And yep, the Germans are are just as bad as Americans when it comes to trying to “beat the train” to the crossing.

Everything about DVD perfectly great. More than I hoped for. I remember steam in Germany in the late 60's as a kid. Just what I was looking for. Excellent picture quality and sound. Thanks.
