Review of Four Days of Steam in Dixie - A Modern Steam Odyssey DVD

 5 of 5 (1)

This outstanding program is hosted by Jim Boyd, Editor of Railfan & Railroad Magazine. It opens with a visit to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, featuring recently-rebuilt ex-Army 2-8-0 610 pulling a chartered photo freight. Multiple photo runbys were performed at many scenic locations along the line. Regular passenger operations are also covered. Next, handsome Atlanta & West Point heavy 4-6-2 290 - in authentic passenger livery - powers a chartered passenger excursion. Three runbys at the scenic South Peachtree Creek Bridge are included. Jim then follows two steam ferry runs, with classic Southern Railway 2-8-2 4501 hauling freight and powerful Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4 611 heading a passenger train. As a special bonus, you'll see beautifully-restored Eastern Tennessee & Western North Caroline narrow-gauge 4-6-0 12 pull Tweetsie Railroad excursion trains. The stack talk is hot and heavy as the spotless green-and-gold locomotive works hard to surmount a
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"!
