Testimonials:

  • I was thrilled to receive a copy of the DVD. It's a masterpiece and is, evidently, a result of painstaking hard work by Jay. It's an IR railfan's dream!! Watching clear, crisp shots of trains whizzing past in high resolution and the magical sounds to accompany them. Well edited and indexed. A must for everyone who even has a remote interest in IR. The shots of MG electric trains near Chengalpattu is soon to be a relic with MG being dismantled at a rapid pace. Not to mention the exceptionally clear videos of trains at dawn.   -Vijay
  • I must say that this is great stuff. The image and sound quality is excellent and the presentation is neat. There is a 'text' introduction of the scene - followed by the scene itself. I remember Jay mentioning that he used a tripod during the filming - it shows, the picture is steady and always in good focus. A lot of work appears to have gone into the making of this - great work, Jay.   -Sridhar
  • This is really good stuff. The footage and clarity of sound and image are too good. Jay, has spent a lot of time and effort in creating the DVD and once again - Great Job.   - Nitin
  • Many, many thanks for the DVD. It has been a real treat to watch and has given me itchy feet for another visit to "Alco paradise". I especially liked the twilight shots of trains near Chennai and the views of YDM4s with their magnificent exhaust note was a joy to watch. The views of trains passing Chennasandra and Baiyappanahali were particularly interesting for me as Mr Srinivas of Bangalore has taken me rail-fanning there. Again, many thanks.   - Mark
  • In a word "great!" I loved the verity, the rail bus, the buses in the background, the different liveries, the different locations and the wonderful ambiance. Simply marvelous! I would love many more, when you release them! Thanks for the great work! - Ben
  • Jay, I throughly enjoyed the DVD. It brought back so many memories. You have done a wonderful job in capturing the Indian Railways at its best.
