That's a 'set of gallopers', although all round rides are also known as 'roundabouts' or 'merry-go-rounds'. American gallopers are known as 'Carousels', and go the other way. Sometimes that word is wrongly used for a British set. There's a type of traffic island known as a roundabout, too. It's seemingly unknown in the New World.

@@bingola45 we have roundabouts (we call them traffic circles or rotarys here ) ( side story, one time my late mum and i were visiting a uncle and his wife in boston usa, and he asked if we knew about a rotary, roatary is also a service .org here and world wide , late mum said yes its a service .org.) uncle explained what that was . we out west now have them in some spots as part of "traffic calming efforts".

@@allanegleston4931 They are fine when traffic is moderate, and even for each direction. We are starting to see traffic signals installed on them, to try and ease overloading.

So it would appear from a Google search. Was he related to the 19th century Marcus Forney who invented a kind of locomotive that bears his name?

My legs are thin and flat - I hadn't realised I was meant to remove those trousers for ironing :(

"Back in the States we have..." Yes. We've heard it.

We hear everything Is bigger in the u.s. The u.s citizens are fat and generally full of shixt. So yank shut the fuck up.

No doubt, but given the UK market price for a serviceable traction engine, maybe a good option. Nobody owns a road steam engine to make a profit!

I can imagine! UK engines of any kind just look like museum pieces with all those extras! The US liked their engines rugged and simple looking to cut down on price with all the mass production it seems.

It's a 1990 built replica of the first steam locomotive constructed at Coalbrookdale by Richard Trevithick, some 26 years before Stephenson's Rocket. It normally lives at the Blists Hill Museum at Ironbridge. Indeed it is a wonder to behold and was the star of the show. The gauge is 3 foot.

If Chris Barrie's "Britain's Greatest Machines" episode covering locomotives is to be believed, it's literally just called "the Coalbrookdale locomotive", and it's actually at *least* Trevithick's second attempt at an automotive/locomotive device (I can't remember if any of his roadgoing models went before it, but he did make one other rail-riding one earlier). Coalbrookdale being the place now better known as "Ironbridge"... The man is one of our less often lauded steam motive power pioneers, who but for a few incidents of bad luck and a less restrictive legal climate in the UK could have had even more direct influence on the history of transport and seen things progress much earlier than they ultimately did. Steam buses could have been a regular site on the roads even before the railways really got going, in fact.

If you're ever in the North East of England and near a city called Newcastle upon Tyne, there's a 'living museum' called Beamish. Visit the museum and you'll be taken back over a century in time and you can actually have a ride in a rail wagon pulled by a replica engine. www.beamish.org.uk/explore-discover/1820s-pockerley/

Yes, I assume so. It probably tells you something about the age of the people involved, I remember watching it with my then teenage children over 20 years ago.

I think you'd have to if you want to drive them on the road. Which many do in the UK.

According to the programme notes, The thresher was made by Ransomes (1951) and the baler by Smiths in 1953. I am not sure if that is 'old' or not!
