It's time for another steam whistle collection. This one features 33 Locomotives from across the British Isles. From LMS Hooters to Three Note Chimes, I hope you enjoy my selection.
This is actually incredible. American train whistles are ridiculously loud and thunderous but the British whistles sound almost like the calls of birds.
As an American, I've always much preferred the sound of UK steam whistles, I don't know if it's the tone or the greater variety. There's just something about them..
I love American steam whistles for their throaty robust sound. They're very imposing. But there's something so beautifully haunting about British whistles that I can't get enough of 😍
In North America the whistles are deep and below but in the UK it's like a little girl screaming! These whistles almost sound like they came from another planet!
Shame the that the USA have a much better whistle they sound more like they mean it when they pull it, louder deeper and will even scare the ghost away its so haunting
I have always loved trains, especially British and American trains. Back in 2020, I bought a Spectrum HO scale dcc/sound 4-6-0 and reprogrammed the decoder so that instead of a Nathan 5 chime it has a LNER a4 chime whistle.
