This engine is something of a musical star. It's been used as a "drum machine" in at least 2 TH-cam videos. The Swedish blues singer Bottleneck John sang "You can't get that stuff no more" to the rhythm of this engine - "Hot Bulb Blues"- and I have seen another band playing "Lover Come Back to Me" with this same engine. For both of those videos, the engine was running more evenly, whereas here it sounds as if it has "hit and miss" ignition.

Bottenleneck John is great. I believe he performed at this museum just the other day.
