I live near a place that has an old retired engine that's on display on the side of the road has the number 3 on it that looks exactly like that but it doesn't say the pickering lumber co. on it
My West side models west side #3, is over sized for a small Heisler. the Rivarossi machine is over sized for a large Heisler, and I believe they patterned it off of an early Pacific Fast Mail import

That is a fine looking model. I have a Westside Models westside #3 produced in the 70's, but it is over scale ( to allow the size of the motors available then) it came with standard gauge and narrow gauge trucks, and since it is big for 3 foot gauge, I have the standard gauge trucks under it,. I love that locomotive, not enough small Hon3 locomotives are easily available.
what an excellent running critter. I have an ancient Westside Models Westside #3 built in the 1970's, but it is grossly oversize. it came with HO standard and 3 foot gauge trucks. Mine has the standard gauge trucks on it, as it is too big for HOn3
@nelsonoidagain Is that the one that the Rivarossi hiesler is modeled after? They look identical. I know one brass hiesler is almost exactly the same as Riv's model just not sure who made it.
They do make shays... but they're not cheap, and they're rather hard to find. There's 1 or 2 hiding around online that I've been able to find. HOn3 is the scale, and the company is Precision Scale Co, Inc.
I've got an HOn3 shay comin' next week. Keep an eye out for a video, which I'm sure i'll have up soon after the engine arrives! It'll be a 3-truck shay, West Side Lumber Company #7, which is the one they now have at Roaring Camp, as is this heisler.
Fantastic. Congratulations.

Wow! What company made this? I didn't know HOn3 made Heislers. Does the company make Shays as well?

Hmm interesting. I don't see too much HOn3. Thats pretty small. I hear and see more On3 and On30.
A run a narrow gauge G scale Heisler in my garden railroad. I'm running scale 1:20.3 on G scale track.

Ah there you go! HOn3 would be perfect for modeling after Roaring Camp :-)
