	Latest news about selling online mp3s... On-line mp3s are no-more! I had intended to keep the facility available until the end of this month but, for various reasons, I've today (7th Feb) cancelled the account and removed the files. As you will recall from my previous message on this subject, buying mp3s on-line hasn't been popular. On the other hand, getting the free ones has with, in just one week, over 300 tracks being downloaded. Compare this with just two people actually buying the tracks that could still be paid for. To be fair, that's not the only reason why I've removed this earlier than intended. There have been problems in the last couple of days with the way the account works with PayPal which could have allowed people to pay but then be unable to download. Fortunately, this hasn't happened as there haven't been any purchases while these problems have been ongoing (for the technically minded, the problems related to IPN!). In view of this and the fact that the next monthly payment was due in a few days I decided to call it a day now; I apologise to anyone who was about to buy some mp3s and is now disappointed! Also, many thanks to those few people who did buy tracks; your support is much appreciated. This may not be the end for mp3s on-line. If I can find a more cost effective and reliable way of making these available (any ideas, anyone?), they will be back.

	Another new CD Close on the heels of the last one, here's another new CD. Bringing the steamsounds from the Lineside series right up to date, here is my offering for 2009. The 19 tracks start with a tremendous performance by Scots Guardsman on the Settle to Carlisle line and end with an atmospheric recording of 5690 on Giggleswick Bank. There's also a recording that I've waited years to make, drama and an 'I don't believe it!' moment at How Mill, double headed Panniers on the main line and 6233 taking over 600 tons up Shap. In short, something for everyone! Full details here		Got the steamsounds 2010 calendar yet? Click Here (Psst, it's free!)

Train Sim Fan? If you are a fan of Microsoft Train Simulator and like to hear well implemented sounds while driving, you may like to have a look at the Evesham Route which is the latest offering from Making Tracks. While I can't claim to be entirely responsible, some of my recordings were used in making the steam loco sounds with this route. And an excellent job they've done too!
