Review of The Hobby Run Amuck - Building a Live Steam RR - Tom Miller

 3.8 of 5 (4)

When Tom Miller was a boy, he built his first model locomotive with his dad. From then on he was hooked! Now a Master Model Builder, Tom designs and builds 2.5-inch scale live steam models for his own 20-acre layout. Built around a 7-1/2" track gauge, Tom's exquisitely scaled locomotives and rolling stock raise the bar for live steam layouts. In this program you will see Tom's entire layout, shop, the two K 30 locomotives he built, and some of the 60+ cars in his barn, plus Tom's own narrative of how he designed and built this fantastic layout. You will travel more than two miles of track through Tom's 325-foot tunnel, over the 410-foot trestle with a truss bridge 30 feet above the creek, through cuts, past passenger platforms, coaling towers, and watering stations, over switches, and by dozens of working signals and other features that make Tom Miller's live steam layout unique. Now, put yourself in the cab of Tom Miller's K-36 Mikado and open the throttle for a loop aro
Overall rating for this DVD?	Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor
The rest is optional but appreciated.
In your opinion, how was the narration level?	There was no narration. Just enough. Could have used more. A little too much. Way too much. Narration can be turned off.
Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)?	Poor. A little rough around the edges. Good. Excellent!
How would you rate the VALUE of this video?	Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Fair. Good value. Excellent value!
Last question. Would you recommend this DVD to others?	Definitely not! Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter. Yes Definitely. A "Must Have"!
