Anyway, in the meantime, the West Highland line, Scotland

At 1.33 it get a little fun with a highly convincing sped up bit at 1.47, the best sound in the entire video is from 2.52 onwards as it enters the tunnel and, at 3.18 you see what the contents of the video actual is, although to be fair, with the scenery, it is fun just to watch:

The diamonds refer to the diamond shaped builder's plates of the North British Locomotive Company, or NBL for short, based in Glasgow.

Worth a look if you are into all that stuff - The footage of the export locos in Australia and Paraguay is good, especially the end with the train 'race' in Australia to Mahler's 1st Symphony!:

I was looking for a dance tune that was taken from movement of a Sibelius piece and, well, I got a bit distracted and listened to this instead :laugh:

Truly the music of the spheres and actually quite good.... until the end:

The problem with a lot of classical is that it is just dull, 'plinky plonky' rubbish (even the best pieces usually cannot sustain brilliance all the way through, so they tend to start off really well, calm down in the middle, and then come back again at the end, although that is understandable if the piece is quite long. A 3 -5 minute song is one thing, a 50 minute symphony is quite another) but that, that my man is genuinely tacky...... I like it!! :laugh:
