Whenever I hear the musical sting used by Green Umbrella I know I am going to be in for a real treat. Be it there historical DVDs or their train DVDs. This one is no exception.
The beginning is atmospheric and somewhat moody. They know how to choose the right music at Green Umbrella! And the FlyingScotsman makes a variety of sounds. Yes, of course it chuffs. That's what steam trains do, after all! But it purrs whilst running at speed, and it makes a sort of little whistling noise, too. (No, not the steam whistle! If you see this video, you'll see what I mean.
In 1999, the FlyingScotsman had been refurbished at the astounding cost of £2.25m rather a lot of money. And this DVD shows how she earns her corn by operating excursion runs in her fine LNER green livery. She was originally built in Doncaster in 1923 at the LNER locomotive ...

Once at the hospital, he is again confronted with "No Dogs Allowed", but is determined to not let that stand in his way. In the meanwhile, a very heartbroken Charlie Brown notices his pet is missing, and the Peanuts gang set out to locate him, and bring him home. Will Snoopy comehome?

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: What do you think love is, Chuck?
Charlie Brown: Well, years ago, my dad owned a black 1934 two-door sedan.
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: What's that got ...
Advantages: Good original story; conveys the period the story covers very well Disadvantages: Comic bad guy; moments when it's hard to suspend disbelief

That only some bearings from a washing machine were used in the bike out of sheer necessity was unimportant, and the fallacy that his entire bike was made from a washing machine coming to define Obree's efforts, and whole career, in his home country clouded the fact that here was an expert engineer who had approached the problem from a different angle to devastating effect.
In between the action is the simple story of how Obree's wife copes with everything, how life can seem so normal at times, and how things can come crashing down so easily and without provocation.
The cycling scenes can at time be a little 'forced', though not to a Sly Stallone goalkeeper extreme, and scenes showing crowds of people back in Scotland watching the Cycling World Championships enraptured in the local pub raise the incredulity ...
