If you like trains in surround, you should give Brad Miller's Steel Rails Under Thundering Skies DTS-CD a try. It's fun!

thanks.
the sound is important but i don't really need surround train sounds unless they're already on a dvd/blu ray i'm buying.
edit-guess i'm more into watching than hearing them.

Oh yeah, Brad Miller's Train Recordings in Surround Sound are something else!
My late uncle was retired from the Railroad when they came out. He loved 'em.
Thanks for the tip, my younger son is a train encyclopidia and will eat this up. He loves steam and we go to some events around the country. We'll be riding and chasing to get his footage to edit his videos. He talks to his train buddies all over on Skype everyday.
The next big one is in July: http://trainfestival2009.com/
May I put my hand up here? I've just finished authoring a steam gala weekend from a British preserved railway onto DVD-Audio and Blu-Ray in 4.0. Quad makes all the difference compared to stereo, but of course, you lot on here know all about that.

Richard, You may be the next Brad Miller! Seriously, which railway line? John S.
The Severn Valley Railway. I also have recordings from the West Somerset, but it wasn't as successful, and I haven't touched them yet. I might do, but some of the tracks are going to take an awful lot of editing -- mainly to get rid of the nasal steam cranks talking to each other about the rivets they counted...
I've been authoring it with Cirlinca, as discussed here: https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...-for-beta-testers-for-HD-Audio-Solo-Ultra-3.0

Sorry, double post. Didn't realise I was being moderated. I didn't know I had to wait 16 hours before the post appeared on here.
I've been listening to my files of the West Somerset Railway, and I reckon I can put together about five tracks. Whether this is going to be too short an "album" for some people, I don't know. I really only record for my own enjoyment and benefit, and stick them on eBay to share with other people. I should be able to salvage something from the last track by editing out the steam veg (steam enthusiasts). I'll have to sacrifice some of the signal box's bells, the and signal/point levers being thrown.

I've managed to piece together six tracks of the West Somerset Railway, totalling some 19m 45s. I'm quite pleased with it, except for maybe one track which is recorded on a slight falling gradient so the 9F doesn't work that hard. I don't know if I'm allowed to link to my blog about it, but it's here: http://blog.fourecord.com/
Over here in Britland, we had our own version of Brad Miller, namely Peter Handford, an Oscar-winning film sound recordist - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Handford
He had his own record label - Transacord - which eventually became Argo Transacord. If you Google for these names, you'll find plenty of info about him and the LPs he released. A complete discography can be found here: http://www.steamindex.com/library/handford.htm
He also wrote a book about his railway recording exploits: "Sounds of Railways and Their Recording" which is a very good read. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sounds-Railways-Their-Recording-Handford/dp/0715376314
