    I would agree, except that there seemed to be no actual sound nor any commentary, so in this instance nothing is lost by turning the sound off. That said, I do not understand why so many video makers go to the bother of adding music, sometimes even fading it down when there is commentary and up when there is none.

    At least you could still hear the trains over the music.

    Visited Maitland for the Steamfest weekend from here in Canada in 2023 , thought the whole event was well put on , lots of steam action , the race only happening on Sunday morning . Was able to ride behind Garratt #6029 , R class # 766 and the # 3801 on its return trip to Sydney on the Monday { 2 1/2 hour trip } ..worth the money to travel there .
