engine.
Burrell 8 h.p. Showman's Engine

Hardly a museum, more an Aladdin's Cave, the Thursford Collection is heaven for engine and organ enthusiasts.

Founded by George Cushing and originally located in a windy barn, the collection is now a glittering cave of majestic old road engines and mechanical organs of magical variety, all gleaming with colour.

With many of the machines still in working order, the collection is a sight and sound spectacular. It includes steam showman and traction engines, steam rollers and static engines, fairground and dancehall organs and a Gondola switchback.

Thursford comes into its own in Winter, when the Christmas shows give a whole new meaning to the term "experience".

Led by the resident organist, Robert Wolfe, the live shows attract people from all over the country. Concerts are also put on every afternoon in the summer.

Wurlitzer.
Wurlitzer Cinema Organ

The collection also includes a 2' narrow gauge steam railway and a mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ.

The Wurlitzer was re-built in 1931/2 by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in New York.
for the Paramount Cinema in Leeds.
