YES! No music! Half the fun of watching these old machines is being able to hear them!

[byronpink]

I must agree that these engines have their own syncopation and rhythm. Being a musician I can hear these engines calling out for their own solo. No music required. Thanks for sharing!

[irfanashraf]

For an engine lover the rhythmical sound of these engines, is Music.

[Shiro-Foxy]

Though very old, I still consider these fricken awesome just considering the engineering and thinking it took to make and come up with things like this back then.

We take our modern machines for granted. Man what a long way we have come...

[p.dubyah]

These machines are absolutely stunning to watch

[osbornc]

Oh wow all of these engines sound like a screeching violin, brilliant videography.

[mvsundareswaran]

I am happy that these engines are well looked after even now. Kudos to the engineers sand all

[vincentrobinette]

It would be fun to run belts to all these engines, and have them turn a generator. It would be fun to hear what they sound like when loaded. Especially the hit and miss engines. They'll hit more often, if something slows them down between hits. The oil and kerosene engines might have a completely different sound, if they were opened up to drive a load. A generator, and a selection of loads could serve as a crude, old school dynamometer, to determine about how much usable horsepower they can really produce. I love these engines, they're old, dirty, and look like they're still in service, after so many years. I can't help but think that the engineers of these marvels would love to know that their engines are still hammering away after a lifetime of use.

I love old engines, especially steam powered ones. They are not only effective at what they did, but they also had style.

[brucerogermorgan]

The sounds of these awesome engines is the only music we need. Why do you spoil it?

[MiguelRodriguez-nteq]

Never ceases to amaze me on how these early machines are still sophisticated in their primitive designs. Love these early revolutions truly works of art from genius minds of their day.

[scootkh]

I would actually prefer to hear the engines run versus hearing a violin concerto of background music

[mdnealy]

I've never seen a channel with this much agreement on the comments.

[charonstyxferryman]

I love watching all the moving parts of an old engine.
Mesmerizing.

[terryrose]

These old engines may look simple but for their time, they were super feats of engineering.

[insidepages]

My dad had about 100 of these engines at our house. I remember well helping him start the big ones, we had a 20HP, 25HP, and 35HP in the back yard.

[donniemontoya]

Having only one cylinder, it's cool being able to clearly see all the different strokes. So shockingly simple you can clearly see what every single moving part does.

[MrGtsouth]

Please, no music, so we can hear the engines.

[PaulBernard]

Kindly remove the aggravating background music so these mechanical marvels from a lifetime ago can be appreciated.

[regesman]

Why do you have music playing. The engines are all the music we need
