im sure either my te or roller could get close, but theyre in bits and will be for a long time.

i have a well run in d16 which would maybee run a tad slower.

ill try and get some vid...

To answer that question i`m thinking it would be best to count the revolutions .

That's pretty slow Klaus... not quite as slow as regracing's engine though.

I really like seeing steam engines run slooooowly.

Old videos I did a few years back

Speed isn't even because the decking isn't either.

How about 2 D10 cylinders?

Kept blowing off the whistle to keep the pressure from building too much.
