British Steam Whistle Compilation Volume 2

[@Boyahda]

This is actually incredible. American train whistles are ridiculously loud and thunderous but the British whistles sound almost like the calls of birds.

[@thatguyonyoutubemk2746]

If those birds weighed 50+ tonnes, couldn't fly and could fit birds inside their vocals 😂

[@aerofiles5044]

Well the British whistles just sound kind of weak and pathetic. Although, I do definitely love the a4 pacific's whistles. American whistles sound like what their engines sound like, big, mean, lean machines, thousands of pounds of moving steel, not some cherry-eyed songbird. but each to their own I guess.

Not a fan of the higher pitched. Having heard both *at night in the distance* the American whistles evoke a deep erie sense and a hint of nostalgia I don't get with the British whistles. Not to mention the sheer "get the hell out of my way" of the deeper whistles

There's something beautiful about 6:08. The picturesque view of fields on rolling hills, with the sound of the whistle of a train coming near. Pure beauty.

ibishu pigeon. That’s because Americans want everything bigger to be “better” when in reality our steam engines where faster and more efficient.

Just remember that this is where your steam engines whistles originated. And they do the job.

[@oohdayum9568]

Ollie's Branchline actually, America’s steam locomotives are very efficient, take a look at the 844. It can go up to 120mph but can also maintain a stable speed of around 70 pulling around 4 million pounds. You guys may have the faster trains, but ours are stronger. I love British steam, I always will. But just appreciate American steam as well.

TTTE reference? If so, that's my childhood you're talking about it. Sniff! I miss my Thomas so bad, now that Mattel ruined it. Even three year olds who knew CGI TTTE miss pre-AEG Thomas. What about when Thomas accused Gordon of "Playing tank engine?" because he had to pull his train backwards? Btw, TTTE's the only reason I ever believed in tank engines I'm sure. Tank engines never got too popular in my country, but I know Thomas has a real basis, even if he's just a toy/character. I know that basis even, due to my nostalgia. That raging case of nostalgia I got a few months ago took me to the wikia and I found out the characters usually got a real basis.
