Review of Central Vermont Railway in Steam Vol 1 - A & R Productions

 4 of 5 (1)

Two local railfans, independently, but following the same path, each set out with a vengeance to capture the last days of steam in the mid 1950's. The Central Vermont had not dieselized and so presented a great opportunity for them. Thanks to their efforts, we can follow the CV's feisty Consolidations through the four seasons. Towns featured are New London, Yantic, Willimantic, Tolland and Stafford Springs in Connecticut, Monson, Palmer, Belchertown and Miller's Falls in Massachusetts and Brattleboro, Essex Junction and St. Albans in Vermont. Parent Canadian National sent their excursion locomotive, giant 4-8-4 number 6218, to the CV for a trip between White River Junction, Vermont, to New London. You'll see her in all her glory, in full color! In a side trip, we visit the diminutive steamers of the "Rock of Ages" quarry.
Overall rating for this DVD?	Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor
The rest is optional but appreciated.
In your opinion, how was the narration level?	There was no narration. Just enough. Could have used more. A little too much. Way too much. Narration can be turned off.
Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)?	Poor. A little rough around the edges. Good. Excellent!
How would you rate the VALUE of this video?	Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Fair. Good value. Excellent value!
Last question. Would you recommend this DVD to others?	Definitely not! Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter. Yes Definitely. A "Must Have"!
