steamsounds - Riding behind steam

On the Settle to Carlisle line

This is the first in a new series of audio CDs which will be entirely made up of my on-train recordings.
With 16 tracks and a playing time of almost 80 minutes this CD includes some of my most memorable rides on what many consider to be the premier route in Britain for experiencing locomotive performance.
The highlights of the CD must be the last two tracks which are of complete climbs from Settle Jc. to Blea Moor and from Appleby to Ais Gill. Both remarkable runs and both with the same driver.
The CD comes complete with detailed notes which you can read here. You'll need Adobe Reader which you can download for free here.

Available at just £5.00 including UK postage. To obtain details of how to get a copy or for any further information please see this page.
