I can name a considerable number of those uk locations,put a type and class to all those locos, and I can tell you none of them sound like that. I really should be able to recognise where LNW(R) Class 350 and Virgin Pendolini are pictured but I admit defeat. |

I'm not going to go through the video again, it annoys me, but Cheddington (fast up) appeared at least more than once. |

Actually I'm not sure he'd have minded: he was a professonal musician and composer who naturally wanted his music to be performed.
Although the Canon was written (we think) for strings, Johann Pachelbel also wrote a lot of organ music, so who knows - he might have played it on the organ himself. Nowadays it's probably most often played on the organ, for weddings. I find it's better as a pre-wedding piece, 8 minutes or so of serenity to calm the bridegroom down while he's waiting for the world to end, than as an entry piece for the bride.
And of course the organ is a wind instrument, as is the train horn....

At that point, one must respect convention and play Entry of the Gladiators. Or, depending on size, Also Sprach Zarathustra. |

.....Also Sprach Zarathustra..... ...right; I'm off to edit a video of that being played using locomotive horns. Should work, but I may be a little while......  |

Wouldn’t they mostly be whistles? A bit lacking in the bass.
Incidentally, does The Hof still get his 0.1p if viewers skip most of his lorry video, as I did? (Although I still don’t think I skipped enough.)
