steamsounds in West Somerset

In my very humble opinion the West Somerset Railway is something really special. Now, if you were to ask me just what makes it special I'd be a little stuck to explain and would probably duck the question tell you to go and see for yourself!
I suppose it's a combination of the almost timeless nature of line itself, the scenery and while you can't see the scenery in a sound recording, I'd like to think that the 31 tracks on this CD and the notes that go with them will give you a taste of what the railway is like.
With a playing time of almost 80 minutes, featuring 15 different locos working hard recorded both from the lineside and on-train there should be something for everyone here.

Complete with detailed notes which you can read here. You'll need Adobe Reader which you can download for free here.
