steamsounds
from the lineside
2011


I've been very pleased with this year's lineside recordings and, were it not that I were biased towards a particular locomotive, I would have considerable difficulty picking the best but, for me, it has to be the recording of 45305 climbing Shap. That is a recording that I've waited a long time to make and I wasn't disappointed.
Mind you, the other 16 tracks aren't bad either!

   In
North Wales		 A steam powered tour around North Wales on standard and narrow gauge steam hauled trains including a footplate ride on a Welsh Highland Garratt!   On the North Yorkshire Moors My most popular CD!
17 recordings of 13 hard working locos heard both from the lineside and on train on the steep gradients that are a feature of this railway.
There's even a train in a thunderstorm!

In the Worth Valley

Here are 22 tracks made from the lineside, on-train and on the footplate on this steeply graded line.
Fifteen different locomotives appear including complete journey from Keighley to Oxenhope on the footplate of 43924.

   In
West Somerset		 The 31 tracks on this CD featuring 15 different locos working hard recorded both from the lineside and on-train will give you a real taste of this delightful railway.   In the Severn Valley Many would describe the Severn Valley Railway as one of the premier preserved railways in the UK and
hopefully these 27 recordings will give the listener a taste of just what makes the railway special.

The steamsounds riding behind steam series
GWR steam
Castles & Kings		 This CD contains 9 tracks with a playing time of almost 80 minutes. All the tracks were recorded on-train riding behind GWR Castles and Kings on ex Great Western routes from the Welsh Marches to the South Devon banks.   GWR steam
Halls & Manors

Here are some of my best examples of on-train recordings made while riding behind these locos.
Halls on the Welsh Marches route, a Manor on the Cambrian Coast, a Hall and a Manor double heading on Hemerdon and a footplate ride on a Manor too.

   On the Settle to Carlisle Line Recordings on what many consider to be the premiere route in Britain for experiencing loco performance.
The highlight 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.

1 in 49! One of my regular supporters who enjoys on-train recordings wanted something with lots of noise and as the 1 in 49 gradient between Grosmont and Goathland can always be guaranteed to produce plenty, the choice was easy!   46229 Duchess of Hamilton Back in the 1980s and early 90s there was one loco that, given the right conditions, could almost be guaranteed to produce outstanding performances every time it ventured out on the main line. This CD will give you some idea of just how good it was!   Black Fives Since I first started making 'Riding behind steam' series I've had a few requests, the most common one being for Black Fives. Anyway, I've done it at last and these 9 recordings are some of my best so if like me, you like Black Fives, this is the disk for you!

6201 Princess Elizabeth I've had many runs on the main line behind 'Lizzie' and have rarely been disappointed either by the loco's performance or the noise. The seven tracks on this CD are some of my best recordings of this iconic loco.   Jubilees It has to be said, the Jubilee Class was not one of Stanier's most successful designs but later modifications improved them & they proved capable of producing some good performances and some rather fine sounds as the nine tracks on this CD will demonstrate.   Stanier's 8F So far, two 8Fs have proved themselves well capable of some excellent work on the main line.
The seven tracks on this CD will demonstrate that, not only do they perform well but the also sound well too!

The A4s Gresleys A4s have been popular with enthusiasts since they were built and they could make plenty of noise as the tracks on this disk will illustrate.
Among the 10 tracks 3 A4s are featured including the record breaking Mallard. We have a complete climb on the S&C and a a couple of recordings on the ECML. 		  Flying Scotsman Ask almost anyone to name a steam loco and we all know what the likely answer will be!
Flying Scotsman has been in the public eye almost from when it was built initial thanks to the publicity surrounding it becoming the first steam locomotive to be be officially timed at 100 mph.
While the 7 tracks don't include any really high speed running, there's plenty of noise!		   Bullied Pacifics Bulleid's Merchant Navy, West Country & Battle of Britain Pacifics were the last steam locos in the UK to regularly run at speeds approaching and sometimes exceeding 100 mph.
While I can't promise a recording made at that speed, you will find some high speed running among the 8 tracks on this disk.

If you don't get a reply that may be because emails from me to you are being blocked somewhere.
