Synopsis
This is a one-of-a-kind audio CD created just for model railroads. It contains continuous train ambiance made up of 80 original recordings of classic steam and diesel locomotives from the 40's and 50's. It is a nostalgic revisit to the way railroads use to sound. It includes steam passenger trains racing by at 75 mph with whistles singing and diesels pulling endless strings of freight cars with horns blasting. The CD contains 72 minutes of uninterrupted train sounds formatted just for model railroads. This is not a sound effects library, but a continuous track of original recordings made 60 years ago. My late father, Harold Spicer, was a newspaper photographer for the Baltimore News Post from 1939 to 1972. When I was a boy, he took me to the Lansdowne grade crossing and Riverside Yards in Maryland as he ran his state-of-the-art wire recorder. I recently discovered his photographs and recordings thought to be lost forever. The result is this unique audio CD. Sadly my Dad left few notes, but his photographs depict a time when B&O, NYC, PRR and WM locomotives barreled across the rails of the Eastern US. You can almost smell the coal smoke!
