steamsounds - volume 4

All the tracks on this CD are on-train recordings and are among the best I have made over 30 years travelling behind steam locomotives on the main line.
The locomotives in the 9 tracks on this CD are all heard working hard and include my favourite recordings made on the Scarborough Spa Express. Let's just say, here is 78 minutes of thrash!

steamsounds - volume 1

By popular demand!
After the feedback I received about the Ffestiniog Interactive CD it seemed like a good idea to make another one available.
This CD features tracks which have appeared on the steamsounds web site and requested by visitors.
It has a playing time of over 72 minutes and contains 15 tracks, both recorded on train and from the line side. It includes the most requested recordings of 8F 48151 with a freight train heard from the line side at Blea Moor in December 2000, the on train recordings of Castle 5051 at Penpergwm on the Welsh Marches route in 1983 and Black 5 5305 on the climb out of Sheffield in 1985.

steamsounds archive CD editions 1 to 10

Not another Audio CD, this one is a CD ROM archive of the first 10 editions of the steamsounds web site.
All the web pages are included as they originally appeared on the site along with over 150 mp3 recordings with a playing time of over 10 hours.
But why should you buy this CD when you can get it all for free at the steamsounds archive web site?
Well, the difference is that the mp3 recordings on this CD are encoded at CD quality rather than the much lower quality recordings that have appeared on the site and in most cases they are much longer than the short clips that I can include on the site. In one case you will find a 21 minute recording of a run with 60009 climbing to Blea Moor rather than the 2½ minute clip that appeared on the site!
At just £10 for the equivalent of over 8 audio CDs this has to be a bargain!

For more mp3 disks don't miss Steam Jukebox!

The price of the audio CDs is currently just £4.50 while the steamsounds archive CD ROM is priced at £10. These prices include postage and packing to any UK address. The cost will be a little higher, to cover postage, for addresses not in the UK.
