Thanks for your review, Gillian!

We're glad you enjoy our 'Tracks' series of DVDs which have no narration or commentary, allowing you to hear all the sounds of the trains without interruption.

Purchase was great but do not like the disc.

The purchase and delivery were first rate. I am disappointed with the content as I would prefer to have the films separated from the continuity links not dissolved in. It destroys the 60’s feel.

Thank you for the review. "Look at Life Civil Aviation" comprises six short colour films made in the ’60s by the Rank Film company. Between each, we added an introduction by BBC journalist Rob Curling, filmed in classic 1960’s aircraft at the Brooklands aircraft museum.

We’re sorry that the dissolves between Rob’s links and the archive films weren’t to your taste.

We offer a money back guarantee on all our productions and would be happy to refund the £10 purchase price. Please email sales@video125.co.uk and we’ll arrange the refund.

The best railway video producer in the UK.

I've been a customer of Video 125 for over 25 years from VHS to DVD to Blu-ray and downloads. The quality of the programmes has always been to broadcast standards, with simply the best drivers-eye views around. High production values, expertly written commentary and professional voiceover experts - none of the other producers in this market go to these lengths. Customer service is never a problem. A vast back catalogue of programmes is there for you to choose from.

Very highly recommended.

The visual quality is great but as is…

The visual quality is great but as is usual with your videos the sound is too low and quite.

Thanks for your review. It is interesting that in your experience you say all Video 125 sound levels are low. We don't know what more we can do, as we have to abide by normal EBU (European Broadcasting Union) standards. We produce our programmes 'in house' at the correct sound levels before sending the finished production to be authored, (making the menu sequences etc.). There, the sound and vision tracks are limited to what we call in the industry 'legal' levels. The resulting files are then sent to the replicators who actually check once again before making the glass masters from which the discs are stamped.

HSTs bringing new life to Scotland's railways.

Extremely well produced with the right balance between railway detail and general geographical interest. Drawing a comparison between this video and the Northern Lights video is difficult due to the almost thirty years in technological changes in photography etc. Please keep on producing videos of this quality - perhaps a revamp of the West Coast videos ?
