I hated vol. 1, but this one is very good. We got it at the library and now I am buying it. Not too much talking, good music, flows well from model trains to shots of real ones. Lots and lots of trains. Not too much of the hokey stuff like in the first one.

My two kids (now ages 3.5 and 5) love this video, and all others in this series, and have been watching them since they were each about 2 years old. These videos show footage of small trains (many of which are Lionel and American Flyer) running in various very interesting layouts. The music and humor in the videos are captivating, and the music is also available in separate CD's so you can listen to them in your car, etc. These videos are produced by TM (Tom McComas) Books and Video, and are absolutely top-quality. We have watched them so many times that we are about to replace the tapes with DVD versions of them. Highly recommended! Buy them all! (No, I'm not related to Tom or the company. I just know a great thing when I see it!)

This is one of the best kid videos. My son watched it when he was a baby and it was his absolute favorite. Now my one year old loves it. It is the only video he will sit and pay attention to with a rapt expression on his face. I am going to get the other ones too. I enjoy watching them as well! The historical conductors announcing the train, the real and the toy trains going by, vintage and recent, with some tractors and earth movers thrown in. What little boy wouldn't love it?

All "The I love toy trains" video's are great fun and equaly important educational. They are more they toy trains they are a grat mix of music, real trains, farm animal video, and corny jokes. With the possible exception of "veggietales" "I love toy trains" are my families favorite videos. I enjoy them as much as my kids

If you can find these movies or DVDs they are well worth the effort. We pieced together the set with VHS and DVD, but our Grandson watched these for HOURS over and over. he can spot a steam engine and tell you what it is. He learned the songs. One of the best series for kids ever!!
