Somerset and Dorset Sound Edits

[SDJR7F88]

To mark the 50th Anniversary of the Closure of the Somerset & Dorset, I filmed an Somerset & Dorset Themed Gala on my layout, featuring my fleet of ex S&D locomotive (all locomotives featured saw service on the line at some point in their life). To make the video that extra special I did my famous sound editing technique, using my real recordings of the Class (or similar), that I have recorded during my visits to preserved railways and galas over the years. 

Hope you find it of interest.
