Makes a Memorable Gift
Harold Spicer was an
award-winning photographer for the Baltimore News Post from 1939 to 1972.
His passion was steam locomotives. In the 40's and 50's, he took
hi-resolution photos and made crystal-clear audio recordings, capturing
forever the sights and sounds of these classic locomotives as they barreled
across the rails of the Eastern US. This 60-minute presentation is an
entertaining compilation of his work with over 70 of his original photos and
recordings. Whether for yourself or as a gift, this one-of-a-kind DVD is a
true historic treasure.

The DVD includes steam locomotives of the B&O, New York Central,
Pennsylvania Railroad, Western Maryland and others. You will see in amazing
detail Mr. Spicer's entire photo collection of passenger trains, freights,
and train wrecks, presented both in Full Frame and Widescreen formats. You
will hear whistles blowing in signature style, bells ringing, pistons
chugging and wheels clacking. You will feel the rumble and maybe even smell
the coal smoke!
Harold Spicer's equipment included a 4x5 camera
and wire recorder, both considered state-of-the-art sixty years ago. Mr.
Spicer could not have imagined a future technology enabling rail fans all
over the world to enjoy his photos and recordings on one medium. He would be
impressed and very proud.

 Backyard
Railways
on DVD
Imagine
being only three inches tall, standing track side and riding inside a
model train. Rather than a technical video about building a model
railroad, this 60-minute program is about enjoying the ride. You will
view model railroading from a G-Scale perspective, and wonder if these
are running models or the real thing. The entire family will be
delighted and completely entertained. |
