I am Backdating a two truck shay, using the straight boiler and fluted domes. This represents a pre-1915 Shay. What I need to know is, apart from the spark arrester because it is a wood burner, do I use the rest of the bits and pieces as if I were making an ordinary shay. Things like :- 1 - Injector 2 - Air Compressor 3 - Dry Pipe 4 - Exhaust pipe 5 - Handrails 6 - Check Valve 7 - Generator 8 - Injector pipe Do they in fact go in the same place as the normal shay. Any help/photo, I would be grateful. Paul http://www.badger-creek.co.uk
