Product Description

Non-stop train action the way kids love it. A great gift for birthdays, holidays, or anytime. Perfect for pre-school and up. You've seen Thomas; now see a REAL tank engine puffing down the track. Plus lots of freight trains and passenger trains in action. Narrative provides interesting and educational information about trains. Be sure to check out Real Trains For Kids 2 as well!

The Real Trains For Kids videos take children on an adventure they'll want to repeat over and over. They'll see real trains in action and learn what they do. They'll see them in train yards and at factories, racing through beautiful countryside, and rolling along the tracks very very close. They'll see things they won't find in any other video. The action is so fast and furious they won't want to turn their heads for a moment! Real Trains for Kids 1 & 2 have entirely different material. Each is complete in itself. There is no repetition. Each has unusual footage and interesting information not found in other trains videos for children. So you can feel free to buy either one first -- or buy them both. Highlights on Real Trains For Kids 1 include rare steam engines, a circus train, a colorful variety of locomotives, a look at the many different types of trains from intermodals to multi-levels, plus trains in snowstorms and rain storms, and a close-up look at unusual track cars at work replacing ties. And lots more. Here are what just a few of our customers have said: from Karlynn R. in Kewanee, IL -- "Real Trains for Kids 1 and 2 have been played so much that they are getting thin. I think I actually have them memorized forwards and backwards. My son loves them sooooo much but mommy is ready for some new ones. Could you give me an educated guess how much longer I'll have to to wait?? Thanks." From Kerry T. in Kalamazoo, MI -- "My three-year old boy has had the Real Trains DVD 1 and 2 since around October, and he will watch it EACH and EVERY day of the week!!! He prefers it over cartoons and never gets bored with it!!!!!! One time he was on the phone with his uncle for fifteen minutes explaining dialogue from the show." From Elaine W. in Eugene, OR -- "The train video is visually wonderful. Not justs for kids! My husband said he hadn't known before about how the railroad ties went in or seen trains linking together."

Review
Good program, nice runbys, in good light and scenic settings. Explains what trains do, the different types of trains, what they haul. --Railfan & Railroad Magazine

About the Director
Award-winning photographer Lewis Bogaty's photographs and articles have appeared in Railpace Magazine and Railfan & Railroad Magazine. He decided to make this DVD when his son was bored with the train videos that were available. Lots of talk and very few trains meant he was forced to sit and fast forward through most of the video to get to the train action. He knew he could do better.

Customer Reviews

Trains for Everyone
This video holds the attention of both kids and adults. It's built around the movement of trains -- lots of them, from lots of angles, with lots of satisfying whistles, brake screeches and clickety-clacks. There's something about the energy of trains that particularly holds the attention of little boys. and this video taps into that. My son, my husband and I all were mesmerized. An educational narrative laces the shots together clearly and enthusiastically but the video's emphasis is on showing trains in motion. Great photography.

Great train video
My 3-year old grandson is crazy about trains. We have watched this video over and over again, several time a day. Great train sounds. He loves it!! I would recommend this for under 5-years.

Great Video
My nephew loves his Real Trains for Kids. He watches it every day without fail, sometimes three or four times in a row. And he walks around reciting the dialogue to anyone who'll listen. This is the best train video I have found. It explains a lot about trains that I didn't know. I even enjoyed watching it myself, it is so nicely put together. Highly recommended.
