Railroad videos

[Anonymous]

I like to watch trains that are interesting.

Me again. I also have the first two seasons of "Tracks Ahead" on VHS when it was broadcasted on PBS.

I really like the videos especially those related to my layout ideas, How-to, and those about geographic areas of interest . It' seems easier to find interesting books , than it is to find interestin videos?

I've only purchased about twenty railroad videos but I'm reluctant to add to the collection because I have a habit of falling asleep watching anything on TV, no matter how good it is, and I'm not going to go to a doctor to find a cure for that. But one British Ealing Studios comedy (The Titfield Thunderbolt, 1952) had so much appeal I ordered it from the UK after I found that many Asian-oriented video and electronics stores in the U.S. can make conversions from PAL format at a reasonable price. Night Passage (Universal 1957), filmed on the D&RGW Silverton branch, with James Stewart, Audie Murphy, Brandon De Wilde, etc., is now available on DVD.

I've collected a couple dozen videos over the last few years.

I recently discovered my 21 month old toddler absolutely loves them. This is the only type of tv that will hold his attention for more than a couple minutes. In fact he screams when the video (usually about 45 minutes) is done and points to the video cabinet to put in another. He loves all trains (diesel, steam) but he does lose interest (i.e. start screaming) if there are any extended cab shots.

Who'd have thought that train videos could settle a toddler down and buy his parents a few minutes of peace?

I must admit I haven't bought any recently because Pentrex has implemented a stiff mail order charge for any deliveries into Canada. Also with the poor Canadian exchange rate they're just too expensive to buy at my hobby store.

Have purchased none recently, however I have about 35 from most of the producers. I personally prefer to get my prototype info from books. They can be looked at at almost anytime with out having to resort to the TV.

Me again. About Pentrex-I have recently been buying many since they've had their sales, although the shipping cost is a killer, so I only buy if several can be had at once. Normally the prices of most videos have kept me from buying them. I even saw the most expensive Pentrex video-$19.95+shipping for an 8-minute video! Over $2 a minute! Of course, I won't buy it. I'm not rich. I must say that watching these videos is wonderful. I also record PBS's Tracks Ahead and special train shows for added entertainment. One more ?-many say DVD is much better. Does anybody have anything to say to describe that?
