Saw this in a theater in Portland. It's an Indie film with limited release, so this may be the only way for many people to see it. The kids are great, and this is a great kid film. Exciting, and just scarey enough to pay off at the end.

This movie was shot here in the Northwest by a Northwest director. The model railroad scenes were shot at the Columbia Gorge Model Railroad Club with which I am very familiar. So I had to get a copy when I learned about it. One of the members of my own model railroad club (Catlin Gabel Model Railroad Club) watched it and did not really care for it, however, I viewed it a few days later and enjoyed it.
It was a bit clunky and some of the acting was not star quality, but the story was entertaining and watching the trains running here locally was fun. I especially enjoyed the camera work done at the model railroad. It showed off the club layout very well. I am quite familiar with this layout which is over 4,200 square feet and was interested in how they would portray it in what I presume was to be a smaller space. They did a fine job.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys railroading, either the 1:1 prototype or the models. Kids will especially like it because kids are the lead characters.
The seller shipped right away and I had no problems with the video.

Kept me and my 3 1/2 year old grandson entertained. We can't wait for Train Master II to come out. Good job director and producer.

This is an excellent movie. it is one of best movies I have seen in a long time. if you have grandkids please watch it with them. I like the storyline, and its a great, clean movie that anybody can enjoy.

I saw the video with my grandchildren and loved it. Purr-fect for children, any age.
It's a good old-fashion story with a "superhero grandpa." I'd like
to seem more adventures with grandpa as the star and hero, neat idea.
My grandchildren are the right age for this kind of wholesome fun:
cheer the hero and booo the villian.Train Master

I saw this movie in Portland. It is an excellent movie for families of all ages. Beautifully directed and written. A great movie for any family's DVD collection.

A wonderful suspenseful family film with heart - can't wait to share it with the grands! We want more from this creator/director...

Saw this film at its opening in Portland OR. It was well directed and with enough suspence and action to satisfy the whole family. There was a standing ovation at the end of the showing.

This is a great movie to have on DVD. The film is well made and enjoyable to watch. The story follows young children and their adventure with trains, so kids can relate to the film. Well worth the money.

This is a great family film. Produced and filmed in the beautiful State of Oregon. My two kids loved it, we saw it on the big screen in Portland. Its well worth the money.
