Consequences

No, I'm not referring to the party game.
Those of you who are regular visitors may find it interesting to note that here we are in May and the recordings I've added with this update are my first main line recordings for this year. Indeed my last foray at the main line lineside, aside from the NYMR on the Esk Valley line, was back in December. The last time this happened was due to foot and mouth - this time it is a consequence of my house move at the end of last year. While I am happy to have moved, I am now somewhat further away from the action and, when you move away from the action, you get less action!
Hopefully, there will be more for me to record in the coming months but, if you've got anything to share please remember, as it says over here on the right...

Audio CDs are back!

After a gap of a few months due to a house move I'm pleased to be able to tell you that I have audio CDs available once more. Not only that but the first four of a new series. You can find full details here.


CD sales help to pay for web site hosting and keep steamsounds on the web!

steamsounds
needs you!

Now that I'm further away from the action I am still looking for more recordings to include on the site.
So, can anyone help? Please get in touch if you think you have anything suitable.
Remember, it's good to share!

Got a Railway sounds site? Get in touch!
Railway Audio CDs also available from:
Try Alan Robinson's Heritage Steam Archive. Here you will find a plethora of steam CDs to browse through. You are sure to find something of interest.
At Linda Jeffcoat's Steamy Sounds you will find two CDs of recordings from the NYMR & SVR, well worth a look. These CDs have received some excellent reviews in the railway press and the CD quality samples on the site are very good indeed.
For Australian steam sounds visit Tony Weber's web site. I have to say that Tony's are the best of recordings Australian steam locos I have heard!
For German steam recordings visit Jörg Dreckmann's Dampfsound where you will find two CDs available.
Try the 34081 web site for a selection of audio CDs from Ian Bowskill.
You should also consider visiting Andy Slater's BR Diesel Web site. Not just diesels, he also has some steam recordings on CD.
If you want sounds for your model railway try here. This comes from Australia but has plenty of UK steam. Guess where some of the recordings came from!
If jigsaw puzzles are your thing, have a look at these from Cheatwell Games, there's one in particular that may appeal. Can you guess who produced the CD?
See, I don't mind giving the competition a plug!
Anybody else out there selling your own railway CDs? Please get in touch!
