Pictures of the ride in German magazine Der Spiegel:

That steam-driven thing in the first picture is really quite something. We encountered that in Croydon last year. There was a moment of blind panic when a driver of a modern car stopped at a traffic light just ahead of it, but these things can't brake, or at least not very fast. Cue lots of shouting and screaming and the driver jumping the light to get out of the way.
