There is a chat forum for rail staff which is visited a lot by enthusiasts as well as staff.  Register with the site then ask the same question, most of them on there are very helpful and if they can help you they certainly will.

Answer 3

Argo Transacord made numerous recordings of railway sounds. I've just done a quick search and there are quite a number offered for sale on ebay.

Answer 4

Saw a CD of train sound efects in the local library (Springfield, Kent)

Try asking your library and searching their catalogue of CDs.

Most libraries also do inter-loans so they can probably borrow it for you. :)
