My name is Ian Strange and I'm a self-employed artist with a sideline in sound recording.
I have published my own railway recordings on a range of audio CDs, plus recordings of classic aircraft and cars.
I also publish CDs of recordings from other recordists.
These engine sounds captured on audio, can revive nostalgic memories, or bring to life a period in transport history. Or else, they capture some of the most impressive mechanical sounds. As well as the engines themselves, the atmosphere of the surroundings and the voices of people involved, creates a "sound picture" in the mind of the listener.
While film and video might be more popular, audio captured those times from before cam-corders. In some scenarios, audio captures events more effectively, such as night time recordings.
I hope you enjoy being immersed in these audio "windows" into the past.
Ian
