I describe how the engines work in the intro. To skip ahead to the hit and miss engines themselves, go to 4:08.
This is footage from the 2018 Spring Hit and Miss Engine show at the Cool Spring Power Museum in Coolspring, PA, which is home to over 275 hit and miss engines. Before heading in to the hit and miss engine exhibit, I give you a brief rundown on the museum itself, along with an explanation of what hit and miss engines are, how they got their name, and how they operate.

could spend all day watching and hearing them old girls run, Thank you for sharing
I live an hour and a half from there and never knew it. I'm going there next chance I get! Thank you for making this video.
You're welcome. I live about the same distance, and it's definitely worth going to see. I put a link in the description to the museum's site. They have a list of exhibit days, which I've also posted below:

Thank you for posting this Brad.
As a self employed man, you wear many hats. And shirts.
Always enjoy your humor!
Been trying to get to Coolspring for 20 years, haven't made it yet. But thanks to vids like this one, it's the next best thing. Looking many years for a 15-20hp oil field Diesel to play with. Haven't found one at an affordable price yet. And the prices keep going up.
Thanks. It's not a big trip for me because I'm not too far away, but it's worth coming to even if you have a drive. People bring RV's campers, etc, though I don't how they make arrangements for that. I'm glad you like the chicken face detector. They are actually guinea hens, but close enough.
Well done sir. Thank you. Can't sleep, been ill, and this was 23 min of pure bliss.
Thanks so much for saying. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Wow. What a fantastic collection of engines. I am surprised and happy that (a) they are mostly in running condition and (b) they are not hidden away by 6' high security fences. So often the OH&S restraints mean that it is impossible to get up close to such wonderful machines. You need to be able to feel the heat and smell the oil to get the full sense of what these engines can do. I also loved the Burma Shave sign at 18.07. (Reference to the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" about Burt Munro).
I'm glad you enjoyed it. They have over 275 engines in their collection so far, and it keeps growing. The World's Fastest Indian is a great movie, and the best character that I think Anthony Hopkins ever did.
Splendid video!!!! I could stay at such a place for days. I am a member of an antique power association and I get to "show off" my little Maytag engine once in a while. Thanx for sharing.
Thanks. I've saw of those old maytag engines at this show years ago. They're pretty cool. You would like this museum I'm sure.
Wish I could be there too! But I live 2500 miles away. Thanks for sharing from us on the west coast. Probably the only way I'll ever see. You guys are lucky.

the snow engine is-well fantastic!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy it. I try to make it down there every spring.
This blows away the Steam History Museum close to me .. This is really cool to see, thank you :)
Great video, love to hear about places like this.
Thanks! It's a pretty cool place.
Excellent video. It’d be fun to go there sometime.
I wish my house had open headers like that building does! They say that dual exhaust is good for performance, but that building has octuple exhaust. It's 0-60 times must be impressive! Seriously though, its interesting to hear the various exhaust notes from outside of the building.
The firing pattern isn’t random, and it is indeed a 4stroke, but it gets its name from a device that used weights on the flywheel that only engaged the power stroke when the RPM fell below the rpm designated by the person running it. And he would set the desired RPM by the weights on the flywheel. Some designs used rotating balls that used centrivical force to set the rpm limit
Great place, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
All I can say is wow awesome wish I could go there today it’s open it would be fun live too far away Florida take Two days to get there by the time I get there it’ll be close got a plan to go there sometime on my bucket list now
Fast shirt change... LOL... Nice video!
Thanks!
Wow! I could wonder around there for days...
We were there from about 11:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon, and still hardly covered the flea market area.
This is quite a collection. Most old railroad inspection cars use varieties of the hit and miss engine. There is a club that utilizes the old Northern Central RR tracks that is in New Freedom and sometimes the less traveled Stewartstown RR for a day of riding the rails. NCRR has an active steam engine so access by the club is not as easy as it used to be. "Popcorn" engines.
They have over 275 of them, either running or in some state of restoration. I would like to get my hands on one, but it's not very easy anymore. Where is this club located you spoke of?
I believe this is the organization. www.narcoa.org/ Next time I see a group of people on the tracks, I will ask one of them which club they belong to for confirmation. I saw them about a month ago.
3.5 hours from me might go someday.
I liked the Reed engine 20 minutes in there's not much info on them and even I could be wrong getting info from a model engine owner who told me about it.👍
I'm closer to the bangor Blue Mountain Antique Gas & Steam Engine show and take my tractors for display and garden tractor pulls✌
Location please? Planning to go need to know which way to point the rv
Cool Spring, PA, between Punxsutawney and Brookville.
Compressed air on some, or all fuel to run?
All the ones I saw were hooked up to either propane or natural gas.
You have a good favorite
Where is this located...
Cool spring, PA, between Brookville and Punxsutawney PA. There is also a link to their website in the description.

Jessie Pinkman has a healthy hobby now.
Вызывает удивление и вопрос как смогли их сохранить в россии такое оборудование уже сдали на металлолом в принудительно добровольном порядке. На работе на днях по приказу начальства изрезали последний андижанец Т-62-1 как ни уговаривал всё безтолку.
OSHA nightmare
I lost patience at 3 minute mark.
It's cute that you think I care.
