Calliope at Disneyland
By John McConnel 

[ Ref. 180301 MMDigest, FS: Tangley Calliope & Trailer

>[ I played this very calliope, pulled by a baby elephant,
>[ in parades at Disneyland 50 years ago! -- Robbie

The note you added about playing the calliope was interesting!
Did you use the gas engine or the electric motor?

Thanks,
John McConnel

 [ Disneyland replaced the gasoline engine with a golf cart
 [ electric motor and battery to power the calliope while
 [ performing in the park.  Probably this was required by
 [ the park's liability insurance.  -- Robbie
