cdMore new audio CDs now available

BR cdIn addition to the 3 new disks I've added to the Riding behind steam series; LNER A4s, everyone's favourite, Flying Scotsman, and Bulleid Pacifics, I've now added a further disk to the series comprising recordings of BR Standard Classes. On this disk are 11 recordings of 9 different locomotives all but one recorded on the main line.

And there's more...
FR cdThe very first CD that I produced for sale on the web site concerned recordings made on the Ffestiniog Railway. That was back in 2002 so, after ten years, I thought it was time for another one. This disk has 19 tracks all made from the lineside and features some of my best, previously unpublished recordings made on the railway. It includes a couple of my favourite atmospheric recordings including a 17 minute lineside track.

spacerAnd there's a new mp3 disk now available too

FR mp3As you'll have already read, I've produced a new audio CD of recordings made on the Ffestiniog Railway and, having done that, I decided to revive the previous three CDs made on the FR along with the new one and release them all on an mp3 disk.
The disk contains 60 individual, high quality 256kbps mp3 tracks with a playing time of over 5 hours and costs just £5 including UK postage.
They are supplied on a CD ROM with comprehensive, illustrated notes.
