Train Sounds CD - Ambiance for Z Scale Model Railroads

Ambiance for Model Railroads
on Audio CD

This is a one-of-a-kind audio CD created just for model railroaders. It contains continuous train ambiance made up of 80 original recordings of American 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 blowing 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. The CD includes:

    • Steam locomotives starting off, steam hissing and pistons chugging
    • Engineers blowing their whistles in signature style
    • Steam trains passing grade crossings while gates close and warning bells sound
    • High speed steam passenger trains approaching and disappearing into the night
    • Steam freights chugging out of the yard, pulling up to speed and rolling off into the distance
    • Diesels with freight cars clacking over rail joints
    • High and low speed diesels with horns blasting 
    • B&O, Western Maryland and New York Central steam locomotives roaring pass as cinders fly

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 steam locomotives barreled across the rails of the Eastern US. You can almost smell the coal smoke!
