LMS 46115 Ryder Cup 2014 Promotion move from Carnforth to Edinburgh 23/9/13

LMS 46115 Scots Guardsman moved from Carnforth to Edinburgh in the early hours of the 23rd of September for a promotion for the upcoming Ryder cup at Gleneagles in 2014 and is heard North of Oxenholme in the darkness and fog .Nothing special just one for the record .

 

Nice sounds on this, I must admit to having a chuckle at what you had done.
The late Peter Handford nearly got arrested for rustling doing sound recordings during the night on the Central Wales line.
I really must try this sort of thing in the dark with my sound recording gear.

Cheers Dave

 

Wow, totally mad, just like the rest of us

 

Sound recording at night can give interesting and excellent sounds. I have encountered some strange individuals while doing it though.

 

Thanks all , it was a bit spooky in the dark but once I could hear the Scot it made up my mind that it was worth it after all .

 

Not entirely unsurprisingly, we were reciting 'Night Mail', as "dawn freshened and the climb was done", on the descent from Beattock.

You say that as if it's unusual in this hobby anyway

 

I did actually think of Night Mail when I was waiting for your special James . I bet it was a fantastic ride over Shap and Beattock in the dark !

 

Very atmospheric! Sounded like it was shifting too...

 

John Shuttleworth mentioned the Night Mail video so hope this link works !
