For the 3 truck shay, Zimo has both the wood and coal sound versions. I know the original post was for Battery, but some readers may be interested in this.

I tried to rearrange the supplied knuckle couplers to get them to the right height to match 1:20.3 Spectrum/Accucraft AMS stock without success. As supplied they will mate with Bachmann Big Hauler (non Spectrum) stock, LGB, USAT and Aristocraft with knuckles fitted. If you mod' a Kadee (sleeve down the pivot to it the pin in the buffer beam mounted block) then you will be able to hook up to std' 1:20.3 offerings. And as previously mentioned you can hook up to just abut any link & pip coupled stock. Max.i am reading mixed things, especially how the couplers sit at a height only suitable for bachmann rolling stock, and, that altering this is not easy.
.
in anticipation of the new shay arriving, now with a bit or trepidation, after re-reading other reviews elsewhere (which i recalled , but not in such detail)
has anyone fitted LGB hook and loops and if so, would you be so kind as to provide an overview of how?

my coupling options are: LGB hook and Loop, or, if required, LGB knuckle-or a paper clip or produce bag twist........
It is interesting that the last run was made 2008? And, like LGB of past, they are selling at close out prices and still in stock some 9 years later.
Our hobby just isnt that popular, i guess.
