Who else buys these and what's your current favourite and production company?

Lickey voyager from video 125. I try only to buy complete ones

 

[GB]

Ive got about 6 or 7, all from 225 studios.

 

[ainsworth74]

I might buy some those Video125 DVD's but at £20 its too much for me.

good point, thats why I only buy complete ones

Very true, I tend to buy routes which I've done, intending to do or local lines which I work or again going to work.

I own a number of Video 125 productions. Have taken advantage of the fact that they've reduced the prices of a number of their older titles lately. Some of the older titles, such as Chiltern Take Two and 1066DC are worth it just to see how much things have changed within the last 20 years!

Are the Chiultern Take Two and the 1066 DC (is that Vic-Hastings) complete or just bits through stations?

 

[trentside]

The Chiltern Take Two first goes Paddington-Northholt Junction (onboard a Class 50) and then a Class 115 goes Marylebone-Banbury. The routes are shown in full (as far as I'm aware), and the DVD has a total running time of around 90 minutes.

The 1066DC goes Hastings-CharingX, and the only edited sections to my knowledge are some of the longer tunnels.

Ace, might buy the Hastings one, sounds good and I've never done the line

My favourite is Locomaster Profiles - "North Star South West", where 47840 runs the last long distance Virgin loco hauled service from Penzance to Birmingham NS. it is a fabulous journey including the infamous Dawlish sea wall.

You can get a cab ride free of course if you want on the TW Metro. That is if staff don't stop you on your way around...

 

[MidnightFlyer]

and DLR's is eaasy enough too

 

[trentside]

I've got a feeling one of the production companies actually has produced a 'cab ride' of the DLR... and it costs more than a Travelcard

well you do get the Fred Dineage commentary on the video, which is priceless!

 

[Powerplant]

I have lots of dvd's admittedly it is hard to pick a favourite as I like them all had a catalogue through the post from video 125 some look ok and as mentioned they have a reduction on the older titles at the moment so might take advantage of this, I have quite a few 225 studios which I like


I've looked at B and R anyone got any of these any good?

 

[anthony263]

225 Studios seem to have brought out a DVD for the New East London Line, Dalston Jct - East Croydon & return for £25.

I might buy this after i have returned to university in september

 

[MidnightFlyer]

225 Studios are all full complete vids too

Many thanks for this thread, I don't have any cab-ride DVD's simply because I'd never thought of them existing. Now I know, I'll certainly be having a look so thanks again!

Yep, there's masses of shelves of them in good railway bookshops, and tons in Ian Allan (in Manc they are at the back on the bottom floor )

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I'd be interested in these products if only they were uninterrupted real time trips of the complete route in question rather than the edited versions on the market.

Cheers Matt. I am gonna have to take a trip down to Piccadilly and have a look there. I've only ever been to M**GAN (other discount computer sellers may well exist) and didn't even know that Ian Allan were there!! I've usually entered and left Piccadilly Station via the (ahem) Metrolink.

Sometimes there are cab ride dvds/Videos for sale at very low prices at some heritage railways.

For Germany, don't forget Bahn TV InFahrt.

Your welcome pal. there are hundreds of cab ride dvd's about, also don't forget to have a look on Ebay just type cab ride dvd's in the search facility, I have got some true bargains off of there VHS (yes I still have one for the older titles not released onto dvd) and dvd .

I dont know about others, but the dvds from 225studios are of complete routes and are uninterrupted as they are used primarily for route learning purposes. They are quite expensive though.

There are little bits chopped out here and there, but no so much that it spoils.

I do agree with you on that point for what they are they are a dear do. As a rule I do only purchase the ones that have the routes I have travelled on, but do have a few of the routes I would like to travel on. I don't have any international titles they don't really appeal to me.

Nice video, did like the 80s porno music on the intro very funny but epic.
