Welcome on Jans Hobbybank.

On this website you will find many photographs, stories and links related to my hobby:


Historical Steam Engines

Fair/Street Organs

Fun Fair

On this site you will see historical heritage from a time that heavy human manual labour was the way of life. But it was also a period that life was “romantic” with its own charm Look to the finishing touch to these beautiful engines: the detailed paintwork and very nice designs with an eye for the beauty of the engine and funfair attractions. Perhaps your granddad and mum have enjoyed the Gallopers and when they were young lovers danced with the music of the mighty street and hall organs.


Texts are based on a script written by me “Steam, the way in the past”
