Many are already familiar with the work of James Coffey—the singer-songwriter behind several video programs from Marshall Publishing featuring small- and large-scale vehicles—whose talent for writing catchy kids' tunes (all with an upbeat folk feel) is well represented in the company's popular series' on trains. In a way, this release could be called James Coffey's Greatest Train Song Hits. Among the selections are Coffey's “Lots and Lots of Toy Trains,” “I'm An Engineer,” “Counting Those Railroad Cars,” and more, as well as covers of traditional favorites such as “Rock Island Line,” “Comin' Round the Mountain,” and “I've Been Working on the Railroad.” All of these are set to some fine train eye candy, with the spotlight on amazing model layouts (with multiple location and scenery themes) that emphasize incredible detail, all shot from various camera angles. Featuring nearly two dozen tunes, this is recommended. Aud: P. (C. Block)
