British Steam Whistles Compilation Volume 5

It's time for annual Steam Whistles video
One of the main enjoyments of Steam Locomotives, is of course the whistle fitted to them. They vary from class to class, being high pitched 'Bell' types to lower pitch chimes.
Please enjoy my selection from the last 12 months, whith some archive in the mix too.

    American steam whistles are always super loud, throaty and imposing sounding, but these British ones almost remind me of the extremely varied calls of birds.

    I don't like Bullied whistles, but the other types are music to my ears. My favourite type of steam engine whistle is the Swindon Whistle, of God's Wonderful Railway status. I love GWR steamies, like Foxcote Manor, best of all.

    Thanks for the video! As an American, I always wondered why the European steam engines seemed to have high pitched whistles compared to ours. Would it be due to a lack of grade crossings compared to many of our railroads?

    It's generally that we tend to use the bell whistle much more often than a chime whistle, a bell whistle creates a much higher pitch!
