Starting with the urban Edinburgh Waverley train station built beneath the famously palatial North British Hotel and moving out to the tiny stations and routes kept alive by Highlands tourism, this video tour encompasses the Scottish railway system. Details on style and makeup of the engines, platforms, and tracks, as well as thorough histories of the various lines make this tape more for the railway buff than the travel aficionado. There are no interior shots of the cars and limited views of the Scottish countryside, unless you count viaducts and station houses. But narrator Peter Fairhead gives ample information on when station houses were built and what modifications have been made, along with editorial comment ("Aberdeen Station has escaped unnecessary modernization and it's a very civilized starting point for a railway journey"). This 56-minute tape will tell viewers which steam lines are still running, how timber hauling has revitalized dying freight lines, and how the cantilever design of the steel bridge built across the Firth of Forth allowed for warships to pass underneath. --Kimberly Heinrichs
