Its not running really all that fast... sometime I should get up the video of my Jensen #70 running at top rpms (about double of this) The only way to control the steam production of an electically heated boiler is make up the simple dimmer comtraption that limits the amount of heat the heater puts out. So this guys choice was either run it at this normal speed or have the safety valve constantly popping.
...it's running like this for more then 50 years...and I'm not shure if it's the right way to oparate the engine...that's the reson why I placed it on youtube..

Nope, the #70 is the modern version of the #5.
The #95G is the current Jensen Turbine.

No It aint, although im sure you won't do any damage, the engine will look a lot more authentic if you ran it very slowly.
