MY THOUGHTS:

My boys love toy trains and are absolutely fascinated by this DVD.  I admit I don’t get the fascination but seeing real trains and cool toy trains in action on tv for them just amazes them.  The day we first watched this we watched the DVD three times in a row!  There are many cool trains and the DVD really does try to show different themes and such.  It starts out with Halloween Train which is a spooky train set that zips around, there is an alien cargo chapter, candy mountain and more!  My favorite is a guy who designed a whole huge train set out of Lego’s!  It was amazing how everything was made of Lego’s!  There is some narration which describes real trains (some of which is above my sons head but I am sure older train fans would appreciate the knowledge) and there is some catchy music too!  Like I said we have seen this DVD a whole bunch of times and everytime we watch it I do see something new, as there really is so much going on.  This DVD is not animated but shows real trains and model trains, perfect for any train fan!  We have never seen any other train DVDs like this but this one makes my 2 and 4 year old happy, which makes me happy – it is also a nice change from cartoons!
