  • it's just an opinion, but i don't care for the whistles on European steam trains. Their too high pitched and shrill for my tastes. Love the long, low, bellows of a big western steamer. The 4449 is auditory perfection to me :-)

  • @salemcripple

    some of the japanese hooters are pretty good too - look up 'Yamaguchi' - probably based on the American model. Mind you Stanier London Midland locos have a hooter - and one which you can hardly hear!

  • hey, thanks for that...it's luck more than judgement...on my part anyway!

  • I was on this tour and it left Salisbury nearly an hour late and made up more that 40 minutes on the return schedule. It felt as if and I think it's fair to say that the driver did NOT hang about. 73096 was a fantastic and reliable ML performer. 75 was probably the average max speed but coming through basingstoke had several of the ilepost watchers pretty excited!!

  • One of the magazines published a log - and the train was listed as 77mph through Andover - I have seen Tangmere through there a mile or two faster. The driver was Bryan Dudley Ward, who was known for giving it a go...but, I believe, succumbed to an illness not many months later.
