Review of Big Steam at Huntington The 1991 NRHS Convention

 4 of 5 (1)
The 1991 NRHS convention at Huntington, West Virginia is known for its big steam show. Here's the best of the big steam. First we see N&W 2-6-6-4 #1218 runs Kenova to Portsmouth. Then it's PM 2-8-4 #1225 and NKP 2-8-4 #765 running side-by-side on double track from Huntington to St. Albans - and back. The next day it's a doubleheader, from Huntington to Hinton on the "New River" train.

There's a lot of main line action! As a bonus, we see former C&O 2-8-4 #2716 running from Alexandria to Charlottesville in 1982, with a ride in the cab. Color, Stereo Sound. No narration.

Overall rating for this DVD? 5 Star Excellent
4 Star Very Good
3 Star Good
2 Star Fair
1 Star Poor

The rest is optional but appreciated.

In your opinion, how was the narration level? There was no narration.

Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)? Poor.

How would you rate the VALUE of this video? Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it.

Definitely.
A "Must Have"!
