Love it, love it, love it.... Especially that red one.

[@paulmontry]

Update - it's not two works. It is "Widmung", composed by Robert Schumann and arranged by Franz Liszt.

[@paulmontry]

Unfortunately I don't have the titles of the two works. Before the closing piece, the one played during the bulk of the video is an arrangement by Larry Lusk of a piece by Schumann and another by Liszt. I'll see if I can find out their names.

I noticed a Series 5 Silver Eagle in that pack of buses. My first trip on a Silver Eagle totally destroyed my taste for Greyhound.

[@wlindenlaub]

What is the name of the piece being played? Please respond.

[@carlosgonzalez2361cg]

Red one 👍

Great video!.... but would have much preferred the "music" of the 8V71 Detroits than Schumann.

[@paulmontry]

Me too! But the software I used wouldn't let me combine video sound with music and the sound suffered from little engine noise and too much wind noise!

Paulmontry...... Thank you for your reply, and for explaining your video situation... the understanding is appreciated. Are you a coach owner, yourself? I've noticed that there are "extreme's" on various youtube postings (not saying yours is, due to circumstances)..... there are many that have "music" when there is absolutely no call for it, others use background music (if that's what it's supposed to be) that is completely out of touch with the video itself, others have appropriate music, but it overpowers (volume wise) the essence of the presentation.... and then you have those that bring you back instantly to the days of silent film. Basic rule of thumb for "gear-heads" (of which group, I am definitely in the midst of) and videos pertaining to all things mechanical and /(especially) with engines.... is Leave Any and All background music - Out of the Video. Engines running - "we" want to Hear them running, If Not... some knowledgeable narration is great, but No music. I would say that ninety-nine percent of the "gear-heads" will tell you that... based on the number one complaint that I've read in comments under videos, regarding trucks, buses/coach, cars... All videos with engines involved and mechanical in nature of content. Thanks again for the post, it was at least great to See the ole Super Scenicruisers alive and well, and that folks who are able to ($$$) are restoring and thereby preserving some of GM's finest. Personally, I've never understood why these folks never seem to "turn the wick up" on these engines, especially with that four speed transmission that GM stuck behind those NA8V71's... not one of their more brilliant moves. They WILL get better fuel mileage out of them and a Lot better power range when coupled with that silly four speed when "opened up"... or at Least repower to an 8V71T(or,TA) if not a 6V92T.... but Not an 8V92T in any form... with the original trans.

Very good feedback and much appreciated! Probably the primary reason I was unable to use the engine sounds in the videos is the wind noise. It's so overpowering that it detracts from the video and you can't hear much of the engines anyway. I am not a coach owner (would love to be) but am definitely a Scenicruiser fan. See my book on the subject in the link below. And I did record a video (below) of just the engine running - that is indeed a sweet sound! www.scenicruising.com/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3bPiWyierWGqqc
