Looking for suggestions for "sounds of steam" cd's. I have the cd "sounds of horshoe curve" and like it a lot. I want something similar.just sounds of steam locomotives at work.

semaphorerecords.com is the best single source. Small 33 1/3rd records are being released as CD's, as well as LP albums from the 1960's - Reading Iron Horse Rambles, Whistles at Cass, the East Broad Top, B&O, N&W - a WIDE variety!
The cd I have is from semaphore records and I am thrilled with it. Its john prophet's recordings of steam on horshoe curve. I will look into more cds through them.
You can't go wrong with O. Winston Link's recordings. Find them here:

If you don't want to spring for the 5CD set, definately get the separate "The Fading Giant" CD. It is very different from the one in the 5CD set. You won't be disappointed!
That reminds me I still have to buy the Link set for myself. My friend had "2nd Pigeon and the Mockingbird" and I had "The General" 45.

One of the absolute BEST steam CD's is "Symphony of Steam" recorded by the late Brad Miller and produced by yours truly.
Totally digital from start to finish, with absolutely clean sound, even when the whistle is blowing as the engine goes by the microphone!
The liner notes are pretty interesting, too.
Nice plug for the CD Rich. Went to order one and they're out of stock!
