I noted there was a apparently a small speaker concealed in that area of there layout and it was carrying realistic carnival sounds and noises, a neat effect.
The club member laughed at that and said that was the second sound effects recording they used. The first was a German carnival recording and it was soon evident when the side show barker started his spiel it changed the entire effect of the recoding. He said at first it sounded like the crowd noise was laughter and cheering, but when the barker started suddenly the entire recording sounded like horror movie shot in a concentration camp. The crowd sounds sounded like people screaming and the barker sounded like a soldier or commandant informing the crowd of their forthcoming horrible fate. He laughed and said it was the most horrible thing he'd ever encountered in model railroading.
And no, they didn't use the German carnival recording anywhere else on the layout either.
Aah, a common beginner's mistake.
Here's the link to the non-Nazi German carnival
For comparison, here the original
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
