Step back in time and experience the sounds of a bygone era with this CD that captures the essence of Britain's steam railways. As a true railway enthusiast, your loved one will appreciate the ground-breaking stereophonic recordings made by Peter Handford in the 1950s and 60s. The CD features an impressive selection of sounds recorded on location, including the King Arthur, Merchant Navy, Battle of Britain, West Country, and Nelson Class locos from the SR, the Castle, Pannier Tank (0-6-0), and King Class locos from the GWR, the A4 Pacific Class loco from the LNER, and the Black 5, Crab (0-6-0), and Jubilee Class locos from the LMS. It's the perfect gift to transport your loved one back in time and relive the sounds of a lost Britain.
