  • I seem to be getting plenty of comments regarding chime whistles on one of my other uploads. So I thought I would put together a short film dedicated to the sounds of the LNER A4 chime whistle.
    For info the LNER A4's just have the chime whistle. The LNER A1 (Tornado) as both an A1 & an A4 chime whistle. They can use either independently or at the same time. Thats why it does not always sound the same.
    The steam trains in the clip are as detailed below :-
    LNER A4 no. 60019 Bittern, also seen as 4492 Dominion of New Zealand.
    LNER A4 no. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley
    LNER A1 no. 60163 Tornado
    Footage taken at various locations over the last few years.

    For you musicians, I've just read that the A4 whistle is in fact a second inversion minor chord of F( C, F , Aflat) which gives it that mournful tone.

    Amazing! Love the sound so much ahhh. Also, im very curious as to why Tornado has 2 whistles. The chime whistle and that tiny one located on the front right side of the cab. Please explain?

    • @spuds4t
      @spuds4t 7 лет назад +5

      That on the FS of the cab is the standard LNER "pepperpot" whistle.

    Why not No. 60163 Tornado painted in the accurate LNER Apple Green, but with the letters “L N E R” on its tender, and numbered 163 on the cab sides instead of its British Railways Brunswick Green and Blue Liveries?

    Scotsman needs one of these badly. That incessant screecher has to go. A chime whistle would give it a sense of strength and importance, while the plain-bell whistle that it uses gives it the aura of an annoyance.
