Quite apart from the depth of detail that is gone into, researching the line that's being presented, the quality of the photography, inclusion of run-bys and station arrivals and departures, and general views of surrounding areas and points of interest make these videos way more interesting than other lesser offerings. Not only that, there is now good coverage of the UK and Ireland, as well as some lines in Europe and even the Far East. Add to that the fact that these have been filmed over a period of something like 35 years and you have the added benefit of historical content. It's even interesting, sometimes, to see how much fashion has changed when looking at the passengers waiting on the platforms or walking about the stations - scary sometimes too! Now that Video 125 have a cutting room floor full of goodies themselves, they have produced several compilation products. One such is the Signal Box Archive that I have just purchased. This takes footage, much of it not seen before, from many previous visits to signal boxes during other DEVs. It forms quite a comprehensive view of the mechanical signalling approaching its phasing out, and the electronic signalling that replaced it.
