Old steam train blues..

Got some inspiration by this huge vintage machine built in 1918. Sat down on an old dynamite-box and jammed by the train!!
Someday I'll play along with a steam locomotive, just gotta find a running one... :-)

Besides the idea of doing a duet with a steam train (and the obvious amplification you'll need,) I just love the 'old-timey' look of this video. To make it complete, the audio ought to have that scratchy-78's tone to it....

@tallercaller

Thanks, I tried to find that sound but it wasn't possible, the idea came to me too! :-)

There is a running steam locomotive in Sweden, I saw one when I was there. In Mariefred tourist railroad if I didn't misspell it, although it was a rather small engine. If you want to jam along a big machine, come to Mokra Gora here in Serbia, we got a large locomotive running a tourist railroad from time to time. But I suppose you can find something closer to Sweden...

Serbia would be great to visit though..
