The Wisconsin Central was a regional railroad success story in the 1990s. Canadian National bought it in 2001 and the WC is gone now. But this video was shot in 1996 – when the WC was a hot independent property. The WC is very nice to us: We get a tour of the dispatchers office and shops at Stevens Point, and a tour of the shops at Fond du Lac. See a GP3O and SDL39 on Byron Hill, a taconite train on the hill with 2 SP ACs and 2 WC units. We’ll also see DM&IR SD9s, UP run through trains and lots of older power.

Warbirds and Classics Over the Midwest I

Warbirds and Classics Over the Midwest I

Welcome to Warbirds and Classics Over the Midwest. For three days hundreds of giant scale warbirds, pre-1960 aircraft and military jets buzzed the runway of Wellnitz Field in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Spot Productions was there each day, and beyond, to chronicle the premier of this much-anticipated R/C aircraft event.

Join us as we take a broad look at the event itself and then take a closer look at fifteen models that represent the best-of-the-best. We not only show you these amazing birds in detail and in flight, we also talk to the guys who love to build and fly them. They’ll share their expertise about the construction and flight characteristics of each particular model as well as some of the history behind the real plane it represents.

In this DVD, you’ll get up-close and personal with Carl Bachhuber’s quad-engine Boeing Stratoliner, Dave Elsinger’s screaming fast turbine-powered Super Bandit, Tom Antlfinger’s gorgeous Korean War F-86 Sabre, Tim Johnson’s massive 2/3-scale Piper Cub, Roy Zingsheim’s head-turning Ryan STA and ten other world-class R/C aircraft.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com’s standard return policy will apply.
