Double Darjeeling Delights

The World's Most Famous Narrow Gauge Mountain Railway

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is over 124 years ols and one of the world's very first narrow gauge mountain railways. In 1999 it became the second railway in the world to be listed by UNESCO as a Wold Heritage site. 50 miles (80km) long, it climbs through spectacular scenery to a summit of 7407 feet at Ghum, near Darjeeling. This DVD follows the "toy" train from near Siliguri, on the plains, to Darjeeling and back. It included the famous loops and zig-zags, crosses at the stations (some of them unusual), a loco with a broken steam pipe and lots of daily running. It was filmed in 1977 when the line was entirely steam worked.

This DVD contains the full content of the previously issued VHS production PLUS 62 minutes of previously unreleased material.

All Digital - All Natural Sound

This footage was filmed in January 1997 with a 3-CCD min-DV camera and production has been totally digital. Sound was recorded on location using professional quality microphones. Voice-overs are confined to stills and diagrams. There is no dubbed sound and music heard is ambient sound and from radios of people singing.
