60163 Tornado & 60019 Bittern - LNER A4 Chime Whistle in Action - HD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.
Music to me ears. That's one of the nicest sounds ever
Beautiful!!! nothing beats an A4 whistle!

1:00 I've only just noticed that the class 91 horn sounds just like the A4 chime. Suppose it's a sort of homage to them.
Absolutely breath-taking
this same whistle from one of the original 4 A4's is now on a WHR Beyer Garratt and it fits the engine so well, especially in the mountain valleys
Thanks......fabulous sounds. Seasick Steve eat your heart out!
0:20 it actually sounds like a LNER A4 3 Chime
Tornado's chime was originally fitted to A4 Loco "Golden Eagle" (1937) scrapped in 1968.

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?

Very nice chime on Tornado. Would I be allowed to use this for a model I'm building? I'll be sure to credit you.
I wish I can go to England and Scotland to see the true reality of the locomotives
Tornado's seems a little off on first being sounded but lovely sound

They sound really close ones a bit deeper than the other
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?

Interesting that an A4 whistle mounted on an A1 doesn't sound as nice as when on an A4.

That’s not Mallards whistle
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.
