Another from the Rail Around Queensland series, The Story of Invicta is the tale of the restoration of the 610 mm Fowler 0-6-2 steam locomotive Invicta, which spent its working life in the Queensland cane fields.
It begins with its recommissioning in Bundaberg and tells the story of how it found its way to HMAS Nirimba, sear Blacktown in Sydney's west before its final return and rebuilding.
This is a very different film to those we've seen from the Water Street stable. Although there is some historic footage of the locomotive in action, the focus is on narratives by the people who were involved in the rebuilding work.
Computer graphics and still photography illustrate the early history of the locomotive and the work carried out on its reconstruction. Much of the narrative is face to camera describing the work carried out, but without live footage of how it was done.
It is very informative, but may be a little frustrating to viewers wanting more scenes of the restoration taking place. In comparison to some of the videos of American narrow gauge locomotive restoration it is somewhat lacking in visual detail.
Nonetheless it a well told story, well edited and with bonus extra features, including a slide show of the Invicta Mill after which the locomotive was named.
The background music is the signature theme of previous programs from Water Street so the viewer knows immediately whose DVD they are watching.
Hard to recommend to people who want action footage throughout but, for those looking for an informative documentary of the life of a little Fowler after it finished work in the mills this is recommended. Chris Harding

This is the third installment in the RAQ series and covers the history of the famous closed railway to Wooloongabba and Sth Brisbane.
Good use has been made of archival images, cleverly blended into contemporary scenes with motion picture film taking us back to yesteryear.
The changes in the Southbank area are huge and would be unrecognisable to younger viewers.
Many classes of now defunct steam and diesel locomotives and other rollingstock are shown, along with long forgotten stations and placenames.
Most of the footage is drawn from private collections which has never been presented to the public. There are great scenes at the Gabba five-way crossing with its bell and flag man; the loco depot with coal stage and elevated turntable and extensive sidings along the riverbank.
This program represents considerable expenditure of time and effort in research and sourcing the visual material.Its a benchmark Australian product which stands up to the best international railway DVDs.
5out of 5 STARS!!!!!
