Thoroughbreds

Producer: T&W

Locations: unknown

Timeframe: 1990s

Length: 70 minutes

A Roster overview for Norfolk Southern. Filmed over a number of years. Era during the 1990s. Really looked forward to reviewing this show.

T&W clearly advertises, ALL their DVD shows as ‘NARRATED’. This one is NOT. A major FAILURE.

I dislike and avoid, non-narrated shows. A few, exceptions. Rare vintage material is the main qualifier.

Accurate, advance notice on the advertisement. That is a secondary consideration. I then decide, if it is something to acquire.

Had this release been reasonably described. I never would have ordered this show. It is not rare film. No narrative, is a deal breaker!!

Many Producers choose to issue non-narrated train videos. That’s fine. As long as they advertise that fact. I can dismiss most of those releases. My option.

Yet, here we are. Show in the player. Let’s have a look…

A single DVD-R, in a standard case. No extras. No Chapter menu. No subtitles. No maps. No locations.

Live environmental audio. Way too many diesel horns blowing! If not Horns, then bells. Give it a rest.

It does cover a plethora of Norfolk Southern locomotives. In a series of mindless runbys.

Nearly every train is blowing horns.

One’s ears need a rest. This is called balance. You get very little ear rest.

Videography is excellent. Too bad about the rest of this show.

Thoroughbreds

Obviously, not my cup of tea. Especially being advertised as a Narrated show.

I wouldn’t have purchased this, as a non-narrated show. Does the rest count after all of that?

Yes. The soundtrack is Super Annoying!
