    My latest scratch build. A class "A" shay. built from atlas class "B" shay parts. We wanted something different. Still more details to do, but the hard part is done. And the drive shaft, crank shaft, and the lifters all work. IMG_2986.JPG IMG_2988.JPG IMG_2989.JPG

    Shays are some of my favorites.

    Well done.

    Very nice. Have you ever looked at the kits from Showcase Miniatures?

    Yes I have. I actually bought a class A shay motor from them.When I came into a cache of parts I was able to use the original motor. That was how I was able to get everything to work.
