Very short video, and hardly worth the price at that. Much of the footage can be be seen in other videos by RK Publishing.
Additional remarks by Eric Thayer: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?I doubt it. Image quality:A little rough around the edges. DVD Value:Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Recommend to others?Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

The program was good, but the video was terribly short considering what I paid for it.

This video was short, and much of the footage and interviews was recycled from the other RK publishing videos (Daylight, Zephyr, Super Chief). However it is a good documentary on dome cars.
Additional remarks by sp4460: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?I doubt it. Image quality:Good. DVD Value:Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Recommend to others?Yes.
