Welcome to Steamsounds AU
The home of Australian Steam Train Sounds (and the occasional diesel)
Latest Recordings and Updates

A big update this month, with plenty of new steam and diesel recordings, both from a visit to the UK, and riding behind some heritage diesels down in NSW.  I've also added some videos to the imagegallery page, so feel free to check them out.  You'll find the latest steam recordings here, with the diesel ones here.

Don't forget that there are quite a number of ringtones available for those who prefer steam (or diesel) powered communication devices, and if there are any other tones you might like, or have any comments on the site (both good and bad!) please feel free to contact me via the contact page.

As always, for those who wish to support Steamsounds AU, there are plenty of Audio CDs available for purchase, plus the Soundscape CD for those who want some background sounds for their model railway, or just for some general ambience.
Welcome

Welcome to Steamsounds AU, home of the largest collection of Australian steam and diesel recordings on the web, and featuring international visitors whenever the occasion presents itself!

On the steam and diesel sounds pages, you will find clips of my latest, and not so latest recordings, whereas the images page has a few photos that happen to get taken at the same time (or thereabouts) as the recordings.

As you may know, David Bailey, my good friend and mentor in the UK, plus fellow sound recordist Jörg Dreckmann in Germany, also have websites of railway sounds and we have made our sites with similar domain names. 

So, if you like Australian railway sounds, you are at the right place at steamsounds.org.au, however, if you like UK steam sounds, visit David's site at steamsounds.org.uk, and if German steam is your preference, head on over to Jörg's site at dampfsound.de

This site is dedicated to the people who restore, maintain and operate steam locomotives for our enjoyment, whether volunteers or paid staff.  Your persistence and dedication is a tribute to a time and a way of life which we still have much to learn from.

On Steamsounds AU, I hope to give you some appreciation of the sounds of our railways, and especially the steam locomotive.   It is something unique and I enjoy my sharing hobby with others.  As you can see, I do sell CDs, but that is only to help support the bandwidth costs of the websites (it certainly doesn't cover the costs of my recording trips, that has to come from my "slush fund"!)

And finally, if you have any comments, suggestions or other feedback, please use the contact page through the menu bar above, or simply click here
