CUSTOMER COMMENTS

I bought Carry on Clagging last year and thought that was fantastic so I decided to check out another of your DVD's (Diesel & Elctric Blue). Again I was not dissapointed, overall it was very enjoyable and fascinitating! The old footage still looks good, for example just loved some of the Scottish scenes even though it was some twenty, thirty odd years ago! Mr Maxeys commentary was just as entertaining too and a big thank you to him, my fave although it was sad was the bit about the Deltic - 'Nimbus', which awaited a “repair that never came; sadly the man with hot poker did”. I think that just somes it all up and how we all miss BR Blue. Will watch the DVD many times over though, thank you once again! - James (by email)

Thank you very much for the "Blue Movie " I have just finished watching it from beginning to end and its BRILLIANT. David Maxey, full marks to him, and I like his own little additions like a hat trick at Gateshead Shed, him having been turfed out at least 3 times, its a nice personal touch, and finally hasn't the old film copied very nicely. Well done to everyone. M.R. - Northumberland

Wow what memories, loved the bits on the Deltic Scotsman Farewell Railtour and the shots of the Police liveried 37, look forward to the next one. G.H. Reading

Another superb programme from Visions. Good cross section of material and as usual most entertaining. P.B. Rochester.
