I have one in a display case with gray cat hair coming out of the smoke stack. Cat hair look like real smoke along with 2 lumber cars and a caboose.
I'd like to see a picture of the model. Sounds cool.

3 Truck Shay means that there is a driverod going from the front engine truck or front wheels to the gear assembly then from the gear assembly to the first truck of the tender then the last drive rod connects both tender wheel assembly to the Shays maindrive. In other words all the wheels on the locomotive trucks and tender truck are powered giving power to the locomotive and tender.
Thanks for the info. Shay's are fascinating.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know anything about a Shay engine until I rode this one. Very cool!

Yeah, I know the color is "pumped". I like it that way. It's a 3-shot HDR, then cranked like ZZ Tops' guitars. "Women go crazy bout a sharp pumped train."
Taken in Oct 22, near Yosemite National Park. I highly recommend the ride.
It's a "Shay" type engine, built for climbing power (to haul logs), not speed (for people moving). Notice there are no big wheels with linkages. It's all driven by gears on articulating rods (to go around tight corners). The drive gears are on the un-shown side.
Tech info from their website:
Built by Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio in May of 1913 for the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Co. In 1939 it was renumbered #15 and continued service through 1961. The #15 was used for various tourist operations in Tuolumne at the old West Side site. It was purchased in 1986 by the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad to work along side the #10 and is still in service today.
Type; 3 cylinder, 3 truck Shay geared
C-3 60 ton class
Cylinder Size: 11” dia X 12” stroke
Boiler: 200 psi saturated steam
Weight: 59 tons
Capacity: 900 gals. fuel oil
3000 gals. water

Excellent and beautiful. (I'd clone-out the airplane track.)

I finally gave in and installed Win 11. Takes some getting used to. Biggest problem was my Laserjet 2015 is no longer supported. No driver. So now I've got a perfectly good boat anchor.

I like them all. The monochrome is intriguing. Very moody. I feel like Frodo heading for Mordor. Very well done.
