9:32 this is the reason why I love British steam locomotives. The power that they bring and the voice of thier whistle never fails to amuse me… They are a part of our evolution they literally evolved with us. They are Metal beasts we can hope to forever cherish for years to come…
Hey there may I have your permission to use the audio from this video? I'm promise I'll give you a credit. I'm sorry if I rushed you or asking this question l.
Coming from the perspective of an American, I don't get why other parts of the world never adopted chime whistles and horns like here in the states. True they did with the A4 class Pacifics with their three chimes and the S160 2-8-0s that were shipped with them from the states but still. Also, why the two tone horns that play the notes independently? Was there any specific reason for it? I've been getting further into European and British railroads and I've never really understood the horn/whistle signal system. Two blasts for forward, three for reverse, one for "we've come to a complete stop" and the two long, one short, one long for grade crossings seems pretty effective and easier to understand to me.
Just restored another all- time classic to the Likes list! These videos (2012 and 2013) are gems!
2:42 I don't know why but just seeing the locomotive struggle with its fouled whistle while being overheard by its slow chugging made me laugh
Oh dear god, how I love the class 66's horn. As well as the steam engine whistles.
Great idea Ruairidh and what a variety of whistles and horns - sounding very funny at times! Thanks for sharing your idea, Best wishes, Ken
Fantastic video! Just had to close my eyes and enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to cut, edit and upload this - really enjoyed it!
My favourites was the green railbus, the Howlers from Class 47, the Black 5 double and the squaking class 20.
very good Rory cant beat the steam sounds
Great vid mate! Really enjoyed the local preston and ELR footage

Quite the collection mate!
Great sound-show - LIKE :-)
It's a video though. :-/
Very epic, dude!
This was brilliant! Would have loved to have seen you add the whistle of say a 28xx, 57xx or alike (the great Western two tone whistle)
2857 is my favourite 28xx

I think the independent tone control is to differentiate them from road vehicles (cars, vans, trucks etc)
A fine collection. But sorry spotters, that Deltic sounded humorously, if almost tragically, pathetic, almost as if it had wind.

Question from an American rail fan: what in particular are whistles and horns used for on British trains, and what are some examples?
To alert people near to the track that there’s a train approaching. Same as american horns, and train horns anywhere else in the world
whistle: 3 chimes, hooters, single chimes
The horns and whistles of British locomotives often sound much more "cheerful" as compared to American horns and whistles.
I can hear trains try to speak while whistling. At least what they sound like. And I know they dont.

Great video, although I swear 47's and Deltics have the most pathetic horns ever
I think Deltic and spoon horns are the best!
Don’t forget about 37s on a bad day!
