Steam Locomotive Whistles in Britain!
If you like whistles then you’ve come to the right place! In this compilation we feature some of the best whistlers captured on the channel throughout a period of 7 years from 2015-2022.
Featuring three note chimes to hooters to teapot whistles, there’s all sorts of whistles from each of the big four regions & BR Standards plus industrials and narrow gauge ‘at the end’ from over the years with some unseen footage too. There’s even an American five note chime thrown in from a USATC S160 there as well!
This video includes a grand total of 42 different steam locomotives

I do think a chimed whistle is nicer to listen to, though, but hooters are possibly a bit better due to lack of melody to them. Although I quite like them all.

That is very true. I’m from America where our steam whistles tend too be a little bit louder and more rugged but also have more complexity with the tones that one whistle has. Steam engines from the uk tend too have more elegant sounding whistles but with less notes in one whistle. I love them both tho. My favorites are the a4 class and the southern pacific 4449 daylight.
The Power of the LMS Hooter from 48624 is EPIC at 2:17 and the Awesome Sound from the Flying Scotsman at 2:52. I loved Sir Nigel Gresleys Whistle and Union of South Africa’s whistle too💖 The Merchant Navy, Bullied Pacific Whistles sound EPIC when they are passing by and the LMS Hooters
The sound of steam engine whistles are truly magical!

In terms of British whistles, in my opinion, nothing can ever top the 3 chimes on the A4 Pacifics!

Thank you very much David! With the RMT strikes cancelling Leanders tour to Scarborough this weekend I had the thought to make a whistles vid which popped in my head during the week haha! Glad you enjoyed it :)
It's a stunning sight.
These whistles are definitely a lot different then we have here in the U.S. but the are beautiful in their way! Also these steam locomotives are very clean!
Some of these whistles reminds me of the y6 single note hooter
Absolutely marvellous and so entertaining. Thanks for posting. Being a Yorkshireman for me has to be Gresley.

2:53 I love how everyone in that clip has their video and is recording the flying Scotsman going past
Load bark of a Great western locomotive , shrill tones of a Southern followed by bass tones of the the LMS,topped by the classic chime of the LNER musical engineering!!
I like them all to be honest. They have a charming sound to them! But I like the Stanier ones as well.
Nice collection of whistles :)

The land where the steam locomotive was born, is there a better sound anywhere in the world? I thought not.

Just seen your other comment about your dad's funeral. That's absolutely fine, sorry for your loss :( I feel it wouldn't be appropriate to have my credit at such a time like this, feel free to use without crediting me. It's great to hear your dad was a lover of steam and makes making these films worthwhile, I'm glad you feel this video is good enough to use to pay tribute to him :) Cameron
