K-36 2-8-2 £s;487 handles the train the first day from Alamosa to Durango over Cumbres Pass, via Chama. From Chama we see views from the caboose cupola right behind the engine, on a section of trackage that was taken out after freight operations ceased in 1968. The second day we make a roundtrip to the famous town of Silverton along the Animas River. A rare diesel is used in the form of N4700, which is a helper for engine £s;7, which is really K-28 £s;476 in movie garb. This was a rare trip for the diesel which was seldom seen outside of switching in Durango. In 1956 another trip was made to the area, and the whole family was along for this adventure. K-37 £s;490 was used from Alamosa to Durango and return, and in one shot we pass a freight lead by 487. Prior to this trip there are neat scenes pacing a doubleheader from Alamosa to Antonito with engines 486 and 495. Then the Scholl family headed for Durango and rode the Silverton train on the first trip of 1956. Engine 476 does the honors and once again we see nice view from the caboose which is behind to drop-bottom gondolas full of cinder ballast. Later we see these being dumped along the tracks where the Animas River has washed away the area close to the tracks. There are plenty of views onboard the train, as well as some switching. While the theme is riding in this program, it is not all onboard the train. There are nice scenes in Alamaso with engine servicing, and turntable scenes, as well as coaling and watering throughout the video. Normally riding footage can be pretty boring if you are shooting from a vestibule, or window, but much of this is shot from a caboose cupola near the engines which provides a much more pleasant vantage point. These were Scholl family home movies, that we have decided to share. Allowing them to sit in the closet where nobody can see them seems like a waste. There are no train sounds since like most films they were silent. We have added some informative script, and appropriate background music that is quite nice, to help you enjoy these color movies. These are not hollywood style perfect movies, but you will find some interesting things especially if you like the Rio Grande Narrow gauge, or nice scenery during the 1950's period. - Greg Scholl Video Productions * A few words about compatability and regional encoding. If DVD is listed as or unknown and your DVD player is more than a few years old, check out this site for an easy way to check whether your DVD player is capable of playing 's.

Almost all of the DVD's we carry are NOT regionally encoded (sometimes refered as Region Code 0) which means they will play in any DVD player in the world that is capable of NTSC format.

Shipping We have built this business on getting orders out the SAME DAY whenever possible. Just take a look at our feedback comments and you'll surely notice that delivery speed is one thing that keeps showing up in the comments. Also, as an E-Bay shopper ourselves, we have found that many sellers super-inflate the shipping costs. We don't feel a company should profit from the shipping charges. We set very fair shipping charges to the US, Canada and International countries. For US shipments we use USPS First Class mail which is usually 1-3 days (Monday-Saturday) MAX. If you order 3 or more, that method is often bumped to Priority service which in some cases will shorten delivery time by a day. International Shipments are sent USPS Global Air and can take anywhere from 4 days to 12 days ON AVERAGE.Feedback Comments Outstanding! - packing , speed, description, eMails.
