Charlie posted:The audio on this particular video is absolutely dubbed, however, it does not make the sound incorrect or correct, only that it was added from another source later (post production).
Note that this is a Herron Rail Video production, and has footage AND sound from Mr. Don Koftra (sp), who was famous for taking movies and sound recordings of many steam operations in the mid to late 1950s. In some cases, he even took 16MM sound movies, with optical sound, live and synchronized with the film. The Herron Rail products are the best on the market for vintage steam action.
The quality and accuracy is still up for the experts to discuss.
Yes, this production is accurate, as Mr. Herron is a stickler for accuracy and top quality productions. Also, having heard many PRR steam locomotives myself, and can verify that those PRR locomotives are correct.
