Title: N gauge railways and real railway sounds
Post by: Newportnobby on July 12, 2019, 10:24:04 AM
There will be many among you who have never seen/heard the excellent vids put together by Chris Eve, who dubbed real railway sounds over model railway layout train movements. I would urge you to seek them out. Here's a couple with Chris having worked his magic on Shaun Harvey's excellent George Street II.........




Sadly both Chris and Shaun left the forum some time ago to concentrate on other things.
Chris also put sound to his own layout 'Old Warren TMD' which he later sold to forum member 'Owl'



Enjoy!

Indeed. A real shame, as they were two very talented and capable modellers.

Thanks for the refresher, Mick!  :beers:

I remember both layouts fondly. I had forgotten how fantastic that imposing factory building set the scene at the back of George Street. Looks like it was made from a Scalescenes download - if so the time taken just on that one item would have been huge!

Real train sounds are so different to the "accurate" sound you get from a tiny speaker in a loco. Well that's how I see it anyway.

In the first video, what the odd looking wagon shown on the first moving train? behind the first coach, a very odd looking item.

It's the optical car of the "Structure Gauging Train"
