World's Largest Calliope

[JonathanTheGreat09]

It's amazing how you got an extension cord long enough to film this with your toaster! :)

[Branchporter]

It looks like the neighbors all came out to see it.

I wonder how they knew it was there. ;-)

[gduane1516]

I know the first song is Swanee, what is the second?!

[9005067]

interesting and enjoyable

[pr0n3]

This can't be the worlds larget calliope. Probably one of the nicest looking ones, but nowhere near the largest. I've seen the Delta Queens and that by far seems larger.

[auaiao9]

Cool set up! Doggie doesn't know what to think about it.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Is that the Good Humor ice cream truck?

[ABC123452850r6234891]

Where

[anglerfly]

ITS NOT PLEASE CHANGED THE NAME the song is swannee

[komoru]

I would hate to be that guy's neighbor

[BigDuckKetterer]

Awesome!!!!!!!!! TenStarsplus !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thestraniero]

NIce, but I've seen several bigger than that. In Amsterdam there's a guy with one that's the size of a semi trailer.

[Muirtty]

I wonder if all of your neighbors were as enthusiastic about it as you were? If you have any neighbors that work nights, doing this might be a good way to get your brains blown out.

[billy5077]

I would drive that thing to work everyday ay 0530 just to piss off my asshole neighber and dickhead co-workers

[ARoyalLyon]

Not the world's largest, but very nice indeed.  I'd gladly hire it to play in my driveway for an hour.

It looks like a lot of money and time invested. Great job, but please pay another $75 for a second muffler.

[Khamomil]

The noise of the motor is a huge nuisance.

[hoipolloi890]

I would say it is probaly an air compresor, and yes, it is a bit loud

[CaptainDeMarrero]

Being the retired Commodore of the Delta Queen Lines, and having served as Captain on the DQ and the MQ, let me just say I have reservations about your boast of "World's Largest Caliope".

[JonasClark]

Mind you, this is essentially, as near as I can see, an air-powered calliope, similar to the old Tangley instruments. As far as I know, the Delta Queen does have the largest extant steam-powered calliope.

I think this probably has both a manual and a roll-player.

[pianomanthree16]

The largest extant steam calliope is aboard the Str. Mississippi Queen at 44 whistles. There was one built out east in the 50s or 60s at 40, and then the American Queen's, built by Dave Morecraft, comes in at 37. The one aboard the Delta Queen is 32 whistles, the standard for steam calliopes.

[Mattexmo]

Steadier camera work would have helped...

[statewidehyde]

Iam sitting on the Mississippi Queen right now and I'd say she has the worlds largest Calliope!!!

[Karlfalcon]

How is this the world's largest?

[dhutch2000]

Yeah, i have to admit i wouldnt nessarally say it was the biggest! And its certainly not running on live steam is it!! :p

[theorganguy]

can they fold the pipes over? I ponder what happens if they drive it thru a low bridge :-P

[artygindahouse]

what if u were his neighbor...

[salemcripple]

My god that gets annoying after like the first 30 seconds.

[freelancer40]

That truck is grand....

[BigErik1984]

Mm, take that thing out on parade.

[byrdsmaniac]

Nice!

[7sevenout7]

HAAHHAHAHAHA, look at the dog's expression at :041

[6V92TA]

lol! He's like "git this noisy dam contraption outta here!"

[meltes]

Too funny! I hadn't even notice that before.

[irinaderevkko]

@7sevenout7 Its ecstatic :)

[wurlitzermad]

Has it only got the roll player or is there a manual there too ? =]
