FOUR TRAIN FRENZY: Synchronized Steam Action With Archive Sound!

A busy moment at Neville Grove with custom weathered Thompson B1, Raven Q6 and two Gresley B17's that star in this fast paced video - each fully sychronised with archive sound.

The LNER favourites are seen on the high and low level lines and put to work on Parcels, Heavy Goods and Express trains. Turn up the volume to maximum and expect plenty of chimney music, clanking and whistles.

All models are Hornby and each were weathered to a bespoke requirement with input from my customers. The B1 in particular was inspired by, and took reference from a photograph of classmate Steinbock that had a distinctive pattern of staining to the smoke box and from the wash out plugs & safety valves which were complimented by patchy areas of polished paintwork.

The excellent sound recordings were originally made by Peter Handford in the 1950's - 60's. They have been digitally remastered and are currently available through Old Thundridge Records. The audio has been supplemented with my own recordings of preserved B1's 61264 and 61306 at work on the mainline.
