I prefer Antonin Dvorak, who died 105 years ago. He was an avid railfan, maybe the first celebrity to confess his love for trains.

how about some 80's rock?

As mentioned, it could distract from the trains...although I've got some stuff that makes classic rock sound like a lullaby (Norma Jean, anyone?)

So here's another question; where's a good place to find sound clips to dub into a movie online? I know I can get videos off of youtube (after contacting the original poster and crediting them in the video, of course), but if I can find some common license stuff online instead, I'd prefer that

If you remember this song, it will get stuck in your head.  These songs got me through high school and college writing courses.

You could do what I do... Shoot video of real trains, then run trains on your layout that match the speed, sound, and locomotive type of the real thing... I'm sure someone with better talent, equipment, and a better layout than me could do a lot better than myself with this idea!

And BTW- I'm with whoever it was that said "no annoying music"...

My little 4x10' HO layout may be small, and I may not have enough money to make it a masterpiece, but that doesn't make me any less of a modeler!

I've done that, although I used a GP7 sound for a U23B (managed to match up the sounds decently though)
