Steam Locomotives
This movie done by the History Channel was excellent. The sights and sounds made you feel like you were right there. My grandson, age 5, was absolutely thrilled with the movie. He has watched it numerous times and can tell you all about it.

When giants roamed - and Bill Withuhn offers vacuous comments
This would have been a fantastic video if the frequent comments from Bill Withuhn had been left out. The comments are opinion, not fact, and anytime I hear him speak I am reminded that he is a politician rather than a railroader or railroad fan. Michael Palin would have been the perfect host for this video as seen in his recent journeys series with Nat Geographic...

The video of steam trains in action in the DVD does compensate for the issue above, however. Good variety and very high quality. Loved the N&W Y and UP Big Boy footage.

My husband has always been interested in the railroad and when we watched this,I became interested too. I'm glad we bought this,because I learned a lot from it. I would suggest it to anyone.

The Golden Age of Steam,
By matt (the reading room) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Giants Roamed: The Golden Age of Steam (The History Channel) (DVD)
With a combination of archival and modern footage, this documentary cannot be beaten for showing just what it is about steam trains that is so enchanting (and dirty). You will learn about the mechanics involved in operating a steam train and enjoy lots of great shots that are hard to see in person anymore.

My hobbie is model railroading and this gave me history and scenery to help build my model more accurately. I love the history of the railroad.

I'm just old enough to remember the switch from steam to diesel and fondly remember the smoking monsters. Very enjoyable.

The recipient is an older gentleman who prefers books and VHS but I think I may have converted him with the quality of this DVD.
