this is a brilliant brilianty pice of footage. great sound and picture footage. this is at strumpshaw steam rally the biggest in the whole of norflok. the worlds biggest steam rally is the great dorset steam fair near blanford.
For those who don't know, most (if not all) European carousels rotate clockwise. Many European carousels are much older than American carousels. Keep in mind that many of the biggest names in American carousel carving were European immigrants.
Wow! Thanks for the LAUGH! - Its funny how this stuff is mainly funny for kids or adults who are drunk (or stoned) out of their tiny little minds! I guess that's the only time they let their guard down, to enjoy something like this? -- ... and to see that statue go by each time with the volume increasing! HILARIOUS! -- I guess it is also great fun for non-drug using people like me, who are just plain WEIRD enough toi appreciate this stuff! *sniff* Too funny, man... Thanks.
Ummmm...I don't think adults need to be drunk, stoned or otherwise out of their minds to enjoy something like a carousel. You don't have to be weird to enjoy it either. It is a great piece of history that still operates on steam, which is very rare nowadays. The statue is part of the band organ, which is also another piece of history.
@TheWurlitzerFan Its good that there are others who enjoy it as much as I do. - It is a hoot... but I'd be VERY embarrassed to get on, even though I WANTED to, being all grown up, and stuff. I guess the macho role has been forced on me. *sigh* I bet some people have kids just to have an excuse to go on such rides! Hey, whatever works!
AWESOME! The music and the vids were great - really nostalgic. I think this is the only carousel I've ever seen that rotates clockwise too. Now THIS was a classy carousel ride!

@petermackett37 Sounds like Blache arrangements to me! Who composed 'MacNamaras Band'? The first piece of course was composed by John P Sousa.
