    Hi Gregg, I get about the same results your getting but what till you hear a good low frequency recording and then you will know the difference.

    As posted earlier in this thread, there is a great set of recordings done in 1969 on that CD I was talking about, “Mr Ds Machine” if you get the chance, have a listen to that and you will notice the difference.

    When you get a good recording of an older GM or the likes, the sound will literally shake your bones.

    Hi again Gregg.

    If you get to here the CD, don’t be too surprised if a number of the tracks sound a bit familiar, just about every Yank move with the sound of a train in the distance got there sound track from this recording.

    You will know what I mean when you hear it.

    My daughter and son-in-law are both Film and TV production professionals. Daughter is a sound specialist. I had them read your posts about sound recording above. They say those microphones are suitable for "domestic work and home movies". $300 is a dirt cheap bit of kit compared to professional equipment and your video cameras don't have enough electrical oomph to power professional microphones that require 48 volt battery banks. Daughter suggests you have a look at an outside broadcast operation if you have a chance and you will see what they use. you are probably doing the best you can without spending thousands and carrying around a truckload.

    Hi Brian and thanks heaps mate.

    I actually use to carry loads of gear with me but this is not convenient when most train recordings have to be done on the run.

    When I have taken the time to set up, I use to use a microphone mixer and ran leads for three microphones, these were 40-17,000Hz.

    The sound difference from these was incredible but as you have posted, there just isn’t anything available for basic video recording.

    As posted earlier, I would rather spend time making a good sound recording over a video any day.

    I found a sound recording I did in 1972, on Picton Bank, of a 42 class with a long string of 4 wheel trucks, working it’s way up the bank just after the horse shoe south of Picton.

    I’ve got to remember how to transfer a sound track from a cassette to the Mac. I haven’t done it for a while, but as soon as I get it right, I’ll post it up.

    Here is the end result of the XPT trying to use the narrow gauge at South Brisbane.

    This is a bogie exchange underway.

    Hey Drivesafe, where were those photos of the flying XPT taken - doesn't look much like South Brisbane.
