Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
Have fun with your trains
I listen to my PHILLIES every night, and when there not on its 60's & 70's pop hits.
"GO PHILLIES"
I like listening to Gordon Lightfoot. What could be more Canadian than working on my little CPR and listening to gord singing the Canadian Railroad Trilogy.
There was a time in this fair house when the railroad did not run
When the window in the trainroom stood alone against the sun
Long before six Goldens and long before two kids
When that big empty trainroom was to silent to be real.

mobilman44 Hi! I prefer the "classic rock" for the most part, but now find what the radio calls "classic rock" is just not all that "classic" - and is more a mix of late '70s and '80s stuff. Classic rock - to this "war baby" - is mid '50s thru early '70s. I also like "classic country", but again the radio's definition doesn't quite match with mine. As an aside, there are tons of classic country & rock songs out there, but the stations here (Houston area) seem to have about 100 song playlist and everything else is verbotten! For what its worth...... Mobilman44

This boomer agrees with you. Those 100-song playlists are the bane of commercial radio. Maybe the "suits" who run your stations are like the mindless ones who run ours in California. It's to the point where I only turn to the commercial music stations in desperation, when satellite radio has gotten a little stale and I don't have my own CDs with me.
Come to think of it, though, maybe I prefer to do modeling work in silence anyway!

pastorbobDepends on what I am doing on the railroad. If I am actually working on the railroad, I play gospel at a lower pitch so I can hear the intercom if my wife calls. Well, I am a pastor. I also favor classic country over any other music. If I am at the work bench, I usually have the TV on to keep up on what is going on unless I am painting and decalling, then it goes silent so I can concentrate.

Unless I'm listening to Country, all those bands I posted are christian too. just southern rock style, alternative rock, hard rock, etc., etc. Usually the TV is on too, but with a volume of zero or close to it.

Classic rock for me....especially Pink Floyd or Hendrix...but any music will do out there while I'm working on the layout.

I listen to:
Skillet
Hawk Nelson
Pillar
Relient K
Third Day
Kutless
Demon Hunter (when I get some of their CDs)
Project 86 (once again, when I get one of their CDs)
I also listen to Tobymac and DC Talk, as well as any christian alternative rock, rock, hard rock, etc.
I have a 6 disc CD player with various music themes playing in a random mode.. They range from "super stars of the fifties, '60s pop, Country ala country classics, Blue Grass by the "Country Gentlemen", and John Denver's recordings.
Some CD sets come with more than one CD and I alternate them. I like the music to be as loud as my wife can put up with.
And sometimes silence is golden.
Radio doesn't play my kind of music any longer so I am strickly CD.
"I've been working on the railroad" is a song I don't have and will try to find..
Don't Ever Give Up
Well I listen to more rock, than anything else. Ozzy, Aerosmith, really 80's/90's rock. Just a small bit of todays. I try to listen to the radio, but its like five mintues of music, and 20 minutes of commercials.

I do have a tendency to listen mostly to CCR and The Who when I am working on the layout.

No, not generally, but occasionally I do and then it is country. Real country, not this new pop-country or whatever it's called.

I'm a small town boy. A product of two people from even smaller towns. I don’t talk on topic….. I just talk.
Mostly classical and sacred. Sometimes I'll watch (actually listen to more than watch) a movie with my wife while I'm working on the layout or a kit. Also, the Cleveland Indians haven't been much to listen to this year so the radio has been pretty much silent.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
While working on the layout, yes, occasionally, stuff like Joe Cocker, Genesis, Phil Collins, Supertramp, even classic music, now and then. While operating - NO! All my locos have sound!
Hi all,
I was wondering, do you listen to music while you're working on your model railroads, and if so, what type of music is it?
I'll start off by saying that I listen to Rod Stewart - checked out his music after seeing the December 2007 MR and liked it.
