JST Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I am not sure if this is the right forum for this but here it is anyway. Having just installed iTrain on my layout I have now developed a fascination with the sound effects facility. I am looking for a 1960s steam railway station "ambiance" sound track but cannot find one that is downloadable from the interwebby. I have found this one from the British Library which would be perfect but it seems you have to be an educational establishment with a license before you can download it:- https://sounds.bl.uk/Environment/Sound-effects/027M-1CD0126081X2-1700V0 Any ideas?

WIMorrison Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I get them from YouTube just download the mp3 sound file and edit out the part that you want 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted December 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) The BBC have made their sound effects searchable and downloadable. I cant seem to copy it as a link but a google search for BBC sound effects gets you to the main page and a search for railways stations brings up a large selection that you may be able to use. There are lots of other useful sounds in there that you can cobble together to make suitable ambient sounds for a number of locations. Be prepared to waste some time in there!!

Jon Harbour Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This could be really useful for plugging in an Arduino with a phone speaker to produce sounds linked to animations... I'll be downloading some sound effects once I'm not on my work computer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
