A stereo field-recording of a narrow-gauge steam train (Blanche) coasting downhill on the Ffestiniog Railway. The voices you can hear as the locomotive reaches the microphone are the driver and stoker having a conversation on the footplate. Rode NT4+Dead Kitten > FEL battery pre-amp > Zoom H2 line in.
