Fine spring bird song mingles with the sound of an approaching train. L.M.S Class 5 (Black Five) 4-6-0 No.45305 pulls into the station with a squeal on the brakes. After station duties are completed the engine makes a spirited getaway towards Loughborough.
A mixed goods train arrives headed by British Railways Class 2 2-6-0 No.78019, slowing and then shuddering to a buffer clanging stop. After a brief pause the train departs for Quorn and Woodhouse.
An approaching train is heard faintly on the breeze and the station bell sounds to herald it's arrival. 92220 'Evening Star' whistles and with L.M.S Class 2 2-6-0 No.46521 at the rear shuffles through the station from the sidings with an empty coaching stock movement before halting at signals. A vintage Lanchester car is heard heading for home. G.W.R Hall Class 4-6-0 No.6960 'Raveningham Hall' is also heard approaching. No.6960 resplendent with an 'Inter City' headboard arrives with the train for Leicester North. Some wood pigeons are heard rustling in the conifers opposite. After a short stop 'Raveningham Hall' heads powerfully away over the foot crossing. 'Evening Star' and No.46521 then depart with the ECS.

Thank you. Sounds of a time when life was not as hectic as it sometimes is nowadays.

A wonderful evocation of a busy day at the Station, with background sounds too mixed in. Interludes contrast nicely with the impressive and almost percussional barks of the exhausts and rumbles of wheels. Love it!
Thank you!
