Yes John, the sounds do something for me as well. However, a
diesel-electric is also a pretty inspiring sound. The Napier Deltic
engines working away (saw a small one of those in a minesweeper's
engine room once) make a thrilling sound.

Not so far from me there's a preserved Spitfire, that's flown to and

Merlin sound is so distinctive and we always rush outside to see and
*listen*. If there's a sound I'd like to 'can' for posterity that's
certainly one! For me, another is the sound of a steam locomotive and,
luckily again, there are several preserved steam railways within an
hour of me.
