I am trying to locate a CD copy of a 12'' LP of Steam Loco's which I had in the 1950s.
I can distinctly remember 1 of the tracks one heard a whistle in the distance from a rapidly approaching express which disturbed a wildfowl & made it take flight over a moor. I would be very happy if anyone else can remember this & point me in the right direction.
