Non-train train music

[FJ and G]

Many words have been cyberspaced reg. songs with trains.

But, I discovered satellite TV music in the 800 channels several months ago when I got wired for Sat. There's period music from the 70s and 80s, jazz, old country and many more channels devoted to particular music; and, there's no ads or chatter.

My layout is basically a 50s and 70s theme. During the 50s, I hide the 70s trains in hidden staging and visa-versa. During the 50s, I find that some jazz or old country music sounds just right for background music and for the 70s, the 70s music or disco fits right in.

I know that most of you will be critical of this post and say that the trains themselves make enough sounds; but I just wanted to get this off my chest and admit that I listen to non-train train music as well as train music.

Sounds nice, it could give just a right bit of atmosphere to the layout when "mr sandman" sounds while a big steamer passes by..

We always have country music on in the train room because Spanky’s cage is in the Not so Round House. And he loves country.

We play Star Trek and Batman soundtracks. Our Man Flint and In Like Flint work well too. Sometimes we play Thomas and the Magic railroad. Can you tell we have a wee one?
