Guaranteed to Stir Memories and
Emotions
Authentic Ambiance for Model
Railroads
Remember
when cross-country travel was exciting, glamorous and actually fun? How
can anyone forget their first train ride or eating in a dining car. These
are original recordings from the 40's and 50's when trains were powered
by steam locomotives. The audio CD includes steam passenger trains
racing by at 75 mph with whistles blowing, and diesels pulling endless
strings of freight cars clicking and clacking. Whether for yourself
or as a gift, these high-quality recordings will stir memories and
emotions.
The CD contains 72 minutes
of uninterrupted train sounds and perfect for model railroads. This is
not a sound effects library, but original recordings made 60 years ago
by Harold Spicer. The CD includes:
• Steam locomotives starting off, bells ringing and
pistons chugging.
• Engineers blowing their whistles in signature
style.
• Steam locomotives 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 clickety-clacking over
rail joints.
• High and low speed diesels with horns blasting.
"Train Sounds" on CD $14.99
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 photos depict a time when B&O, NYC, PRR
and WM locomotives barreled across the rails of the Eastern US. You will
feel the rumble and maybe even smell the coal smoke!

Original Photos & Sound Recordings
of Steam Locomotives on DVD
Harold Spicer was a
photographer for the Baltimore News Post. His passion was steam
locomotives. In the 40's and 50's, he took photos and made audio
recordings, capturing forever the sights and sounds of these
classic locomotives as they barreled across the Eastern US. This
60-minute DVD is an entertaining compilation of his work, a
historic treasure for every rail fan.
Like listening to surf,
this CD is a relaxing flashback to the classic sounds of a big city
harbor. It contains 72 minutes of continuous vintage ambiance with
steam whistles, fog horns, liners, tugboats, fishing boats, bell
buoys, seagulls, lapping water and working harbor background. This
is a revisit to a bygone era to stir memories and emotions.
Imagine being only three
inches tall, standing track side and riding inside a model train.
Rather than a technical video about building a model railroad, this
60-minute program is about enjoying the ride. You will view model
railroading from a G-Scale perspective, and wonder if these are
running models or the real thing. The entire family will be
delighted and completely entertained.
