Here is a video of the Spirit of TC running at more of a normal speed on the hill (just under 8.5 mph). When Dad and I rebuilt the engine between 2004 and 2005 (wow, hard to believe it was almost 10 years ago) we added a mechanical lubricator for the cylinders, made 1 new piston, designed and made 2 new valves and valve stems, rebuilt the valve gear and lengthened the eccentric rods to the proper length, had a machine shop make new driving axles and turned the driving wheels, made new driving boxes and installed roller bearings on the driving axles and I designed a new blast nozzle, new atomizer and oil pan. She ran and steamed a lot better after the rebuild. On an average day, she would run around 70-90 times around the track (28-30 miles) and would run around 3,500-4,000 miles every summer.
