A Symphony Of Steam - The Greatest Sounding Steam Locomotives In The UK !

Күн бұрын

In this video we take a look and listen to my best acoustical recordings which have been captured on video with the uninterrupted pure sound of steam engines at work. Every scene has been chosen carefully to showcase the sight and most importantly the 'Sound' of your favorite British locomotives, though three of our American guests feature at one point. This video is for the hardcore steam enthusiast or any lover of steam power and there are a few long intros in some of the scenes, this is so you can appreciate the sound of an incoming locomotive. In this video, you'll find no wind, no talking and no unwanted interference, just the pure acoustical bliss of steam locomotion with the added sounds of chirping birds. It's recommended to watch and listen via headphones or surround sound if these options are available to you. I hope you enjoy the compilation.

What a superb collection! I cannot imagine the effort, miles and time it took to assemble this video. As an audio engineer I know how many thing are outside your control when trying to shoot videos like this. Quite the best I have ever listened to. Thank you so much!

David, thanks for your kind feedback. Filming scenes like these is never straightforward, as it's now become a spectator sport due to media coverage but thankfully we have plenty of countryside to escape in and capture some decent soundtracks from time to time.

Few things stir my soul like the sight and sound of a hard-working steam locomotive. British steam is so elegant and classy. American railroads have nearly abandoned running steam anymore. Thank goodness, the British still revere their heritage where one can still see, hear, smell and ride behind steam.

@FS2K4Pilot 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on the railroad. Norfolk Southern and Burlington Northern Santa Fe will allow steam movements on their rails, schedules permitting, and there are numerous tourist railroads that operate them. Some, like the Strasbourg, even do steam-powered revenue freight work, still. And then, of course, there’s the Union Pacific Steam Program, with the Living Legend UP #844, UP #3985, and the Big Boy UP #4014. But yes, the major railroads do seem to be ignoring the lessons of the Southern and Norfolk Southern Steam Programs about the value of steam power for public relations.

There are still steam powered trains but its not wide spread. we have a train local to me in PA that runs a track from Reading pa to jim Thorpe pa. Its more of a sight seeing thing with the benefits of hitting the shops of a small town. Its really popular in fall when the leaves in the mountians change colors and they do christmas themed runs in the winter.

As a Canadian American and a devotee of many fan trips in both counties this was a delight to hear, as I recorded many over the years. The thing I find the most fascinating to listen for is the distinctive beat of a three cylinder locomotive, something one never hears in NA. When their timing is dead on and there is no distinctive lope, it is very hard to define at high speed.

Hello, this is a long comment but here goes: I live in South Africa, there used to be a decent steam culture here but that has gone down massively in the last few decades. I've recently started looking at steam trains after re-watching Thomas the tank engine for the fist time in over 7 years, and I'm truly saddened by the fact that one day my kids won't be able to see such magnificent creatures in my beloved home country. It's just become too expensive for anyone but a few companies to maintain and keep some engines running, mostly for tourism. I myself have only been on a train once (that may or may not have been steam it's so long ago that me and my parents don't quite remember) and the rail infrastructure in SA is so damaged from theft, abuse and neglect that I doubt I'll ever see a working engine of any sort here ever again without at least some travel. That being said, I will be going to university in the UK in about a year, and I am so excited to see steamies in their natural habitat and possibly even go on one (darn it I'm getting slightly emotional) and finally enjoy the wonder of steam engines myself. I have heard that it is quite expensive but I want to do this for myself. For showing me the beauty of these trains and their lovely surroundings, and letting a young man know that a childhood dream that has long been dimished is still alive and chuffing along: I thank you.

Brought back wonderful memories of trainspotting (in its original meaning). As a youngster in the early 60s I used to take the local from Palmers Green to Wood Green (Alexandra Park) at weekends, and saw many A1, A3 and A4 Pacifics blasting through among all of the other less-glamorous locos; a multitude of tankers and the magnificent 2-10-0 9Fs. Also had the "bad luck" to miss a connection at Swindon once, and had to spend an entire afternoon on the platform... There were still a few Castle Class running then. It is wonderful to see that so many of these great machines have been lovingly restored to their original liveries and numbers, and kept running, long after their shedmates went to scrap. And they all look so much cleaner now than they did back then under BR! Super quality video, beautiful framing and composition, and above all super sound! My grand-daughter is now just starting to appreciate choo-choos, which gives me the ideal excuse to keep watching over and over. Thank you so much for this! from Toronto, Canada
