Where abouts do you live? If you live in London, then go to Ian Allan, near Waterloo Station, and get their titles from there

- I too agree that the site looks dodgey! Stick with Ian Allan

I was given a copy of 225 studios Shenfield to Liverpool St DEV, with no commentary, it's great for insomnia ;D

They are reliable enough. I have a few Bob copied for me. They're a nice change to 125 because of lack of commentry. However, they do appear a bit cheap at times with the not so good camera quality, the conversations between driver and cameraman and the odd reflection of the camare dude.

I'll have to agree with David though - unless you have railway knowledge they do get a tad boring after a while. Never-the-less they're not too bad.

Edit: Just nicking Colins job here and dug out this topic. (Well, i say dug out - it was about 4 topics under this one! districtdave.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=publications&action=display&thread=1134491066

I've had no problems ordering off them before. Their productions are a bit amatuer though. Still, we all gotta start somewhere!

To their credit they do provide 100% route coverage with no cuts other than station time.

225 studios films are quite good. they are clearly not in the same league as video 125, who[no offence to 225] are professionals. it all depends on how much interest you have in a particular route. Their silverlink ones are very good, but on the nll lfrom north woolwich there is a squeaky noise, forget it and you can enjoy it. A lot of them seem to have the cameraman[always the same one] trying to avoid his reflection falling on the cab windscreen. when this does happen he contorts his body into odd shapes to avoid being seen. Iam sure the guy is double jointed. This is sometimes annoying but usually gives me fits of laughter.
