A Question For The Oldies.

[derekpara]

Can anyone remember the name of the performer and the title of his recording of a vocalised imitation of a steam train journey ?

It was made in the 1930s I believe, and the artist used his voice to imitate the train leaving the station, going through tunnels, passing other trains and crossing sets of points.

It went something like this: ' Diddly dee, diddly dah, diddly dee, diddly dah, diddly diddly diddly dah etc..........

Sounds odd, I know, but it was very good and I would like my grandchildren to hear it if possible.

Fibonacci, You've found the version I mean - probably the 1930s recording.

Congrats to you all on finding the recordings so quickly.

Thanks to you all.
