Accucraft. Inspired by Shawn's line I decided i would like to do something similar.Saw this loco, liked it & thought will have to get one. So sold most of my Aristocraft stock to help fund it.

Shawn it was your fantastic railroad that inspired me to go the logging/mining road. I hope to build a small layout in my shed this winter, a small end of line depot similar to yours & run the shay on that. With your permission I thought I would call it "Shawnekitty". Funded most of it by selling off most of my Aristocraft stock. Still got a loco & caboose to go which I will use to get some logging disconnects & iron mountain coal cars.
 
Shays are intereting locomotives. Many saw logging and other industrial uses.

There was even a 760mm gauge one sent to the Austrio-Hungarian area, I think it ended its days in Slovenia (Yugoslovia). It was bought/imported by Krauss-Linz and operated on a test basis on the StLB if memory serves.
 
Gave the Shay a trial run today on some test track along the path.It is fitted with phoenix sound & is also rigged up to run on battery power from a trailing truck. Have been a few teething problems. Ran fine in reverse to start with but then cut out when going forward. After awhile ran in both directions but then cut out again. Seems to be a short as lamp does not power up. Tried another loco that arrived this week, a little Davenport & it ran fine in both directions so don't think it is track. May be it draws to much power?
Anyway when it was running it was great.

Here is one on the streets of NYC near 11th ave, still using cowboys to ecsort the loco, this was known as Death Avenue, for the amount of folks squished by trains before the High lines were built, Note the Shay has a centered boiler unit.​
