    I was not sure whether to post this is the narrow gauge section as whilst it is from the Talyllyn it set me wondering if other railways with a range of engines could but do it.

    Really starts about 2 and a bit minutes in or it is repeated just after 5 minutes

    Fantastic! Can't imagine that was easy to arrange (or rehearse....).

    There was also the 'longest organ concert' a few days before - more info on that here.

    The Talyllyn is fast becoming the musical railway....though this may have something to do with the fact the current society chair is a music teacher ;)

    That was great. I was trying to identify the sound of any ex main line whistles (an A4 and Stanier hooter in there somewhere?) but it got too complex in the end !

    There's quite a few!

    1 carries a GW whistle (just one of them)
    2 carries an ex-Caley hooter and a very high-pitched Peckett whistle
    3 carries a chime whistle (ex A4 or Brit)
    4 carries both GW type whistles
    7 carries a Stanier hooter (ex 8f) and another I'm not sure of

    6 also has a chime whistle (again either A4 or Brit - we have one of each but I can never remember which carries what).

    Not every whistle was heard during the tune.

    Now if they could arrange for just one of them to play a Fender Stratocaster that would really be something. :)

    All steam locos are musical but some are more musical than others. :)
