I spotted a BBC Sound Effects record (whatever one of those is...I'm far too young to know! 
) on eBay for the Victoria line earlier in the week...well, of course I was keen to hear exactly what sound effects existed, and so out of morbid curiosity pressed the 'buy' button.
Anyway, said record arrived today and features both the Victoria and W&C lines - the latter features the Class 487 / 1940 Stock trains. The 1967 Stock must still have been fairly new when the recording was made as the train featured sounds a lot quieter than they all do these days! The only exception to this is when a compressor kicks in - by comparison this is quite loud, although that may simply be due to the recording equipment being placed near where the compressor is located.
I've ordered a turntable which converts vinyl into a digital format, so once that gets here I may be able to upload the recordings to the Tube section of my site, although obviously there may be copyright issues involved with that, so we'll have to see. (If I can do it, I'll try to keep a bit of crackle on the soundtrack, just for that 'authentic' feel!)
Does anyone else have anything like this in their record collection..?
