Summary: Great Series
Comment: This is great. My train lover three year old loves it. It is funny and yet it is educational. They even throw in the train safety comments about staying off of tracks and so on. I particularly like that they show women and men and people of all ethnicities doing a good job. These are normal people who are proud of their work. The humor is slapstick that young kids can relate to and enjoy. This video appeals to a wide range of ages and is something that parents can enjoy.
Well worth every penny.

Summary: over and over
Comment: this series is our childrens favorite. We bought the dvd collection, though..and I think it's a better value. Even adults love to watch them. Just be ready to see them over and over and over.

Summary: There's better
Comment: My kids like "There goes a dump truck" much more than this one. This one doesn't have much train action, and there's lots of adults talking. A much better train series for kids is the "I Love Toy Trains" series, which can also be found on Amazon. See my review for them...

Summary: A must-have for any little train fan!
Comment: When I reviewed this tape, I thought my train-obsessed three-year old grandson might find the technical talk boring. Not so! He sits fixated through every minute of this educational and entertaining video. He laughs at the silly things he sees as Conductor, Brakeman, Waiter, Engineer Dave works on a real train. He now knows why trains had cabooses (so do I) and lots of other facts about his fascinating trains. It's a keeper, but be prepared to hear your little engineer say, "One more time, one more time" over and over.

Summary: goofy fun for little train lovers
Comment: We have three of the "There Goes A ...." videos with Dave Hood. Our three-year old loves them all, though I would say this is not the best one. If you don't own "There Goes a Fire Truck", that one is even better and I'd recommend that instead; if, however, you are blessed with a tiny train fiend, this should be very entertaining for them (and you too).Engineer Dave does a very good job of entertaining children while he explains the workings of various locomotives, though the device of daydreaming and then messing up on the job is used too many times, and Dave is caught sleeping on the job too. Also, as another reviewer said, there's a long segment in which Dave climbs along a moving train to alert the engineer to a car stalled on the track up ahead. The bad safety example is second only to the atrocious acting! It would have been better to have spent that time showing more of these fascinating vehicles. When the film is on track (so to speak) it is excellent.
