@bjb @ai6yr did you know that Adolph Sax (who invented the saxophone) had the idea of driving organs with steam engines to make them EVEN LOUDER. In fact he proposed connecting one to a steam locomotive to drive around the countryside as a very loud, very annoying and unmissable promotional vehicle (if you'll pardon the pun) for new railway lines. This video gives a lovely potted history of the whole bonkers idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2KzGJpbLBU

A neighbour had a traction engine in his driveway.
We would fire it up a couple of times a year.
The whistles are rated in miles.
This machine had a seven mile whistle.
@chris_bloke @bjb HAHAHAHAHAHA that's amazing

btw, you recall that Fantasia did T&F also, yes? (The organ version is arguably the better one, though.)

@cavyherd @ai6yr It was the opening to the excellent 1975 sci-fi film Rollerball.
