The thing sounds like an old time locomotive going down the street. If you wish to see it all in pieces then check out the film 'Seabiscut' with Jeff Bridges since that is supposed to be Leno's Stanley that Bridge's character takes apart.

Seabiscuit is a favorite movie. I'll pretty much watch it anytime. I can't imagine they actually disassembled Leno's Steamer for those scenes. What kind of money are those original Stanley's worth?
Whatever the traffic will bear I'd imagine....
