Beg to differ.... These are background sounds(and beats) of the Gothic Industrial Music scene. Which also grew/splintered into the Steampunk Subculture/Club/Fashion/Music/CosPlay scenes. Part Dystopian, Part Victorian with a Science Fiction Element where the future evolved with Steam Powered . No outfit is complete without a pair of googles......

@@donlewis6650 I think we may have different country's Englishes in affect to the power of different social circles and lifestyles not exposed to making even more complex of reference. Plus through the power of KZread it may stated my reply to Phil was to you. Make even less sense. You would think Google/KZread could make a better thread system for clarity in comments, it has only been around since before the Internet grew from Usenet/Newsgroups.... Where Phil said "...what a rare luxury -no elaectro music disturbing..." I was commenting on the irony that it actually is electronic music and not just music to Rail Fans. Although I agree 100% with sentiment of being thankful this video didn't have annoying loud free "electronic" music from some free youtube artist blaring all over the original sounds at an ungodly volume level, that for some reason seems to infect most uploaders. Given this isn't what most people think of as music but if something creates an audio sound discernible to the human hear, it is used in music somewhere. IE: Cow Bells, Seriously I have set up microphones for cowbells on percussion kit, but I digress... The sounds of Steam Engines and Industrial machinery is in itself a music genre. Those sounds are used in sub-genre offshoot from the 1970/1980's Gothic Punk movement that skipping several decades of musical & subculture lifestyle evolution splits and new subgeneres that formed from those and repeat the cycle to where it brought a music form known for the sounds of these trains , machinery and emulations and distortion of other instruments to more mechanical sound called "Industrial Music". Which "Industrial" overlaps with the Gothic Music fans and Morphed into the SteamPunk Fashion scene/genre/fandom. It falls in the judgmental of the person watching and listening of is it all just silly? to whatever floats your boat & makes you happy? to cool & sexy and great beat I can dance to this. The line about Googles is semi-joke because most industrial club outfits had work/welder's Goggles as part of their fashion look at nightclubs. Raves and Industrial music share fan base and roots and from this comes the googles and face masks for dust stirred up. Due to dust face masks also were often needed and which were accessorized to make them fashionable, Gas Masks were often used because of the tie into time period, horror film base fans. Which nicer refined ones are in the SteamPunk scene/genre/fandom world . Which is set in some alt Universe where Steam trains , dirigible airships and massive industrial age gear driven machines rule the technology tree. That the modern power method is still steam and with it we have some electrical things like computers but everything still relies on numerous gears and nice mechanical keyboards and are part of the fashion sense with a Victorian style England mixed in with Tophats and corsets . Add in a mix of Dr.Who for good measure.... A world where oddities like the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrocar and/or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail and Penny-farthing bicycles are normal every day modern items. The upside the weird science stuff is king and Nikola Tesla trumped that clown Thomas Edison with that Alternating Current as history should have turned out.. Edison is the VHS of VCRs war. Just because his current won doesn't mean it was the better format but I digress again... Lost & confused? The longer explanation was even worse of a club music sound and fans history of how it morphed through all the divides and the changes to where a factory and steam engines rhythmical sounds form a base for music style. Which often has their concerts and/or dance club nights in older abandoned Industrial complexes that are cheap to rent or can throw a party at that won't disturb anyone. Which CosPlay is short for Costume Play. The Biggest part being the Costume and that theme defining all far too numerous to go into fully subgenres/subculture scenes/groups in it. People dressing up in costumes/characters as a hobby usually refers to the crowd for Comic Books, anime/animation(still don't understand this split myself), TV and/or film characters and animal mascots aka Furies. Technically Military and Railroad Reenactors and Collectors who dress up for events fall into CosPlay. Although the groups are doing the same thing basically, each would swear what they're doing is different than those freaks.....

Reminds me of the bar scene in Star Wars except the characters are all locomotives.

Some great machines here. Got to love the gravity train!

One small engine called "Fernilee" attracted my attention. Stockport water board built Fernilee reservoir and Errwood reservoir in the Goyt valley near to Whaley Bridge. Errwood dam was built in the 1960s. Fernilee was built earlier the old but the "High Peak railway line" track bed closed in the 1890s was used to run construction trains to the dam construction sites. The engine you show must have been use in the construction of one of these two dams.

A wonderful effort. I have never seen this railway shown with so many details in such a short time. I did not know it had so many unusual engines. Makes we want to travel even more half way round the world to see it (Aussie). Beautiful camera and editing work. Very relaxing and interesting. Maybe do one with interviews and comments. Much appreciated.

Just wow, so much interesting stuff running in this video my mind is truly blown! We dont really have much even close to this here in Australia. Ive never seen a fireless loco in the flesh and vertical boilered stuff is insanely rare, i think i rode one when i was a kid called "the coffee pot" but no idea if its still operating decades later.

Quite the reverse! The Fairlie patent double engines were built to haul massive trains of empty slate wagons back up to the mines at Blaenau Ffestiniog. The gradients were so steep that most of the downhill journey to the dock at Porthmadog was gravity-assisted but the locos then had to hold back the weight of a loaded train.

is this a sort of - Club- where each builds his own engine or loco? they must have lots of fun there... but most of all. no funny music, no - we have a problem - comment! a great video! hat off to whoever did it!

A good few of these look like the result of an engineer with a workshop, a large scrapyard given an assignment to create a light locomotive for shunting. The two air powered locomotives, which I believe are 'SID' and 'Whistling Pig'. They look like they were meant for use in a mine, that'd have had a ready source of compressed air to power drills & hammers. The transplanted Fordson Standard tractor was definitely the heavyweight of the bunch.

The smallest lightweight engine was the motorbike, possibly about 20hp. 1970s vintage. The "compressed air engines" could have been fireless engines. We used them extensively on mine/power station work. Load them up with 20 tons of superheated water at the powerstation and you could use them underground in coal mines which had a risk of methane fires. They were very inefficient because they used saturated steam but could operate up to 4 hours without a recharge, much longer than compressed air. There were a couple of Lister cargo cars (10hp) converted to locos. I scrapped about 30 tons of Lister cargo cars in the early 1980s. Most obstinate mechanical devices ever made.

Coal mines can use fireless cookers, where the "boiler" is filled with hot water and steam at high pressure and released to produce steam at lower pressures, but of course weaving mills can't have the steam around the fabrics, so they used compressed air. www.whippanyrailwaymuseum.net/exhibits/equipment/engines-a-powered-rail-equipment/fireless-cooker-0-4-0f-no-7240

Does anyone know what size gauges of track we are seeing in this video? It appears the beginning of video is a little rail park with a smaller gauge. But later on in the video it appears to be possibly a slightly larger size but my guess may be wrong but appears to be the size in this country as to the various shots down by the sea and city views and trains moving at pretty good speeds. This is a great video of some great historic equipment.
