Looking at this I'm taken back to the 60's when Roots had a fairground based in the village where I lived. The sound of the generators and the latest pop songs from the speedway, the smell of hot dogs, candy floss and toffee apples with the hundreds of coloured light bulbs showing the way. In the bottom of the field there were some old abandoned pre war lorries that always caught my eye. Thanks for the video it's turned me back into a little lad.
My favourite is the "Whyatts" Leyland at 0:20. In Australia the carnival people mostly use secondhand ex fleet trucks, some have a huge generator set to power the show rides. I remember when I was a boy one of their Kenworth prime movers hauling the "Octopus" ride became bogged, not to worry, an Asian elephant was put in harness and gently extracted the truck from the bog! I enjoyed your video, thank you.
