Review of Steam in the West - Greg Scholl Video Productions

 5 of 5 (1)

This is another variety tape which includes mainline and tourist line action. First we witness Union Pacific Steam with 4-8-4 Number 844 and 4-6-6-4 number 3985 as they depart Cheyenne on the first two segments of their journey to Sacramento in 1991. We see the doubleheader for two days running between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City. Then we watch 2 days of 3985 running solo as it makes a pair of roundtrips from Salt Lake City to McCammon, Idaho. This is the largest operating locomotive in the world and the Union Pacific never disappoints you with the great action. Our next segment is the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad with 2-8-2 #5 operating in this scenic area. You will see mostly lineside views of the train, but there is also a nice little cab ride segment. Next we travel to Colorado to see a variety of engines on the Durango and Silverton railroad. You will see 2-8-2;s number 476 and 481 on passenger runs, and 497 on a work train. Completing our Steam In the West is the Cumbres and T
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"!
