The speed increase shown would be from the voltage upgrade to 3v which is a mod I do to many older trackmasters and tomy trains and as mentioned above the gearing.
Absolutely, the newer motors are snails compared. I put a motor from a revolution in an older Diesel train with a 3.7v lithium, and it wasn't any faster than stock. The main reason for wanting to know the approximate rpm is so I can get one that is a little less rpm
