This video holds the attention of both kids and adults. It's built around the movement of trains -- lots of them, from lots of angles, with lots of satisfying whistles, brake screeches and clickety-clacks. There's something about the energy of trains that particularly holds the attention of little boys. and this video taps into that. My son, my husband and I all were mesmerized. An educational narrative laces the shots together clearly and enthusiastically but the video's emphasis is on showing trains in motion. Great photography.

My 3-year old grandson is crazy about trains. We have watched this video over and over again, several time a day. Great train sounds. He loves it!! I would recommend this for under 5-years.

My nephew loves his Real Trains for Kids. He watches it every day without fail, sometimes three or four times in a row. And he walks around reciting the dialogue to anyone who'll listen. This is the best train video I have found. It explains a lot about trains that I didn't know. I even enjoyed watching it myself, it is so nicely put together. Highly recommended.

My two year old little boy has a fascination with trains so not knowing where to start, I ordered this one. It was a great choice. He would watch it every day several times a day if I would let him. I have since checked out several from our local library and none have compared to this video. This video is just as interesting to the parent as the child, and the clarity of the video is outstanding! I highly recommend it. It is worth every penny!

I gave this to my 3 year old grandson and he loved it and watches it almost every day. The rest of us too enjoyed this great train DVD also. It is very informative and fun to watch. ***** Thanks.

My 9 year old son is autistic and loves trains. I found this DVD on amazon.com and ordered it immediately for him for Christmas. He's crazy about it! He can watch it over and over and not get bored.

This has quickly become my son's favorite video. He's four years old, so he's begun to grow out of Thomas, but his passion for trains is chugging along strong. This movie is great, with narrations and explanations that really inspire him. It's even more exciting to him that we've ridden on the "number 40" (New Hope and Ivyland) that is featured.

I like that there is an educational twist, it has added all sorts of words and concepts to my son's vocabulary.

One complaint only. As a mom, though, the soundtrack music is a little repetitive and annoying, and it gets stuck in my head. Other than that, this movie is great!

I purchased this dvd for my five year old grandson. He is a big Thomas fan, but begs to see the "real" trains. He would rather watch this than any cartoons.

This dvd is awesome! My son who is a little over 2 goes bananas when this comes on! I just got it yesterday in the mail, he has watched it like 7 times. I read the reviews before buying, and they were right! Perfect for kids 2-4. Mainly just train shots, not an annoying narrator or cheesy talking. Plain and simple: videos of trains.

We would prefer that our child not watch TV, but when we started planning for a 5+ hour plane ride (each way) we decided we needed video help. We ordered this video and some construction videos. This is by far his favorite. He's 18 months old now and absolutely loves this video. When we do let him watch it, we watch it together. He loves pointing out the colors of the trains and seeing the guys driving or flags on the trains. We even enjoy watching it with him. The music and narration are good.
