Links to some of my favourite web sites
Here are a few of my favourite websites.
ARHS Queensland http://www.arhs-qld.org.au/ - Here you will find a few more of my recordings, plus a few of my good friend Jacob Cash, who also happens to be their webmaster.
Steamsounds http://www.steamsounds.org.uk/ - David Bailey has one of the most comprehensive collections of UK recordings I have ever had the opportunity to hear, plus his new SteamJukebox software makes searching and playing that favourite loco recording a painless experience. Besides being a bit of a mentor for me, David has also taken some very nice photographs of the old country, and also has audio and mp3 CD's for sale.
Forum für Dampf-Soundfreaks - Jörg Dreckmann's excellent site for german steam sounds. He has a recording of most classes of german steam and some of them have to be heard to be believed, especially the three cylinder 03.10
For those who prefer internal combustion, especially the english variety, Andy Slater's BR Diesel Web here: http://www.brdw.co.uk has an amazing collection of recordings and several excellent CDs for sale.
Here is another site that takes up a lot of my spare time, Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006. Once you start playing with it, kiss your spare time goodbye!!
If you want to see how content is created for simulators such as Trainz, check out Ian Manion's (Vulcan) site at http://www.ianztrainz.com.au/ . Ian is one of the masters and is also one of the nicest guys you could meet. Freely giving of his time to help others, he has also helped me get started in 3D modelling through his excellent tutorials..
At http://www.tracksandtrains.com/qsmee/ you will find information on my local model engineers club, and occasionally you might see a pic of me or my loco on the images pages.
Visit Steam & Engine of Australia for one of the best steam related websites in Australia. Run by Paul Pavlinovich, this has heaps of comprehensive information on a range of topics and also has a link to the COALS (Conversations Of Australian Live Steamers) email list.
If you think steam is dead, then you should visit the Ultimate Steam page. This site is a mecca for those of us who believe steam still has a future and especially those disciples of Porta, Chapelon, Kylala and other engineers who have continued the development and advancement of steam technology. If you have travelled behind Puffing Billy's NA No. 6A with her Lempor exhaust, or seen R711 and R766 with their modified front ends and double chimneys, well I'm sure they got their ideas from the Ultimate Steam pages!!
