Full Circle

I think I can now say that the steamsounds web site has now reached full circle as the oldest recording that you'll find here dates from the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Gala which took place a year ago while the latest recordings are from this year's NYMR Autumn Gala. What's more, I was surprised to discover that there are over 100 recordings available covering the last 12 months. Assuming my bandwidth allowance will stand the strain, I intend to try to keep it that way.
Of course, if over 100 recordings isn't enough for you, there's always the steamsounds archive with another 300 or so!
On the subject of the Archive; the recordings there are hosted at no cost to me by a very generous supporter in the USA who, unfortunately, I seem unable to get in contact with. So, John, if you happen to read this, I hope that you are Ok and please get in touch!

Two more CDs now available

I've added two more CDs to the collection. These feature recordings made on the West Somerset and Severn Valley Railways. You can find full details here.


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

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 excellent Dampfsound website 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?
Not just audio CDs but there are some interesting DVDs available at SVS films.
See, I don't mind giving the competition a plug!
Anybody else out there selling your own railway CDs? Please get in touch!
