Chinese Steam at Work(Reference #CH4) Steam doing what it was designed to do, in regular service. First we visit the Fengshuigue Coal Mine Railway, with a JS 2-8-2 on a passenger train at a very crisp dawn, then JS's shuffling cars. Next we visit the Benxi steel mill with SY 2-8-2's shuffling hot metal cars and slag cars, continuous action often with several trains moving at once. We even got a peek into a section of the mill where they were pouring molten steel and slag. Next, it's off to the totally charming Weihe Forestry Railway with it's delightful, tiny 0-8-0's hard at work hauling logs. We caught a passenger train chartered by a Japanese group, and several trains with helpers, the workshops, and generally marvelled that something so small, with such tiny drivers could sound so good.

Winter on Jingpeng Pass(Reference #CH1) by Highball * 118 mins * colour * hifi sound * narrated China's Jitong Railway is the last big steam hauled main line in the world, with double headed QJ 2-10-2's blasting their way over the grades and curves of Jingpeng Pass. We visited Jingpeng Pass in Mongolia in February, 2003 to take in the sights and sounds of big steam working hard, and what a trip it was. We visted the shops at Shenyang to see QJ's being overhauled, the sheds and shops at Deban (it's like travelling back in time 50 years) then watched the action over Jingpeng Pass, visited the CTC room at Shangdian, watched servicing at Jingpeng and had a cab ride over the pass. What an experience being on the second engine working hard upgrade through a tunnel! There are approx. 17 freight trains a day over the pass, mostly doubleheaded, so sit back and enjoy some awesome big steam action! Price: £21.00
