I am interested in getting a new N&W steam locomotive video. I have some of the Pocohontas Glory Videos already. What would be the best N&W steam video to purchase?
You might want to check out;
Pillars of Smoke in the Sky - About 45min. of pushing a coal train over Blue Ridge.
Hooters on Blue Ridge - Another excellent show and not entirely on Blue Ridge as the title may suggest.
.
There are quite a few good video/DVDs on the N&W. I agree with BigJim about Hooters on Blue Ridge, it's very good. When I brought it home, it take a little time to convince my wife it really was about trains though....
There is a boxed set of five DVD's that you can get a most large box stores that sell electronics, such ad Best Buy and Future Shop. It has a fair bit of N&W steam, including footage from the Pillars in the Sky set if I am correct. It is from Madacy, St. Laurent, Quebec, and is called Railway Journeys, The Vanishing Age of Steam. I purchased it for CDN19 four years ago at a local Future Shop and have seen it since...it's out there. Check Amazon, for example. But my point is, along with some quite nice N&W, you get much, much more, and for about half of what it will set you back to get the other specific DVD's (probably just one!), and then you'd have to add the S&H.
