Guy, did you catch the full title of the video in your first link?  ;D
"The Lister Diesel Engine, also known as the Listeroid engine, running - magic!!!"


Doing a little of my own looking around on Google video.
Here is a Vulcan engine.

Here is an informal engine show in New York.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-215102171687627389

A diesel electric hybrid, not old but looks like a lot of fun.

This one is not diesel but just for contrast to a 6/1's 650rpm.

Nice.  Two thumbs up on the first video. 

I like that they gave some credit to Hornsby/Akroyd for the compression ignition engine.  They did fail to mention that solid injection was also a Akroyd invention.

Yep I thought it was some neat footage.. It's obvoiusly one of the original diesel engines but as they said the first engine never ran on it's own.. while were watching videos I'll add these three...
