ALCo Engine Sounds

I am into professional sound recordings being a CD producer. For the recordings I use a sophisticated gear surrounding a portable DAT deck.

Audio CDs

Currently there are five premium quality audio CDs featuring the lovely sounds of ALCo engines. By clicking on any of the CD covers you'll get to my www.railmedia.com site, where you can find out more about my products and download some sounds from each CD and more. You can order these CDs from me or from my distributors (Europe: EK-Verlag, Steam Powered Video; USA/CDN: The Railroad Press; Australia: Series 567 Video.

All recordings presented on ALCoWorld are mp3-files. To download a small freeware mp3-player for Win9x click here (119 k). The player is compressed using the zip format. File size in brackets.
