Скачать или смотреть 2000s Amutec Coin Operated Steam Engine Kiddie Ride - Smokey Joe

Filmed at Skegness Pier on June 8th 2017.

Smokey Joe, the steam engine that really smokes! (Or not, in the case of this example sadly) Amutec released this ride around 1999/2000 and it was the first ever steam train to blow "real smoke" out of its funnel. It was a very popular ride for a couple of years after its release and could be seen at most seaside resorts in either orange, dark blue or, very occasionally, purple. Sadly the special smoking feature didn't seem to last very long which might account for why most of these rides disappeared shortly afterwards. Such a shame as this was a lovely gimmick and a very attractive ride.
