MTH Premier C&O Shay Geared O-Gauge Steam Locomotive

[Triplex5014]

Do the geared locomotives have both operating couplers or just the rear one?

[skeley1]

Both front and rear.

[CassFan5150]

i agree fully

[toytrains1]

I think, in part, you answered your own question! :) But seriously, they quite often use the same whistles in both the RK and Premier models of the same locomotive.

[ripjump12]

this engine has the best whistle. how come mth give the best whistle to the most expessive ones and not the railking ones

[SLSF1522]

Nice model! Most of the sounds are verry good however the whistle could use some inprovement.

When did C&O have shays???i don't remeber that:S

[briangalehibbs]

C&O had ~16 shays on the roster, all retired by ca. 1923. They were used to drag coal over the mountain at Cabin Creek, WV, primarily. (This is a few miles from where I grew up.)

[Chris9017]

That is a beautiful whistle.

Where can you find MTH shays? I can't locate them on the website?

[RichardSwayne]

The Chesapeake & Ohio had Shays?

[david245611]

Yay it did!

[toytrains1]

[nasher902k7]

nice c&o loco

[trainmaster844]

only one thing wrong though... THE REAL #6 doesn't have a DIAMOND SMOKESTACK!!!!!!

[SeniorMinch229018]

This was one of MTH's first shay's. They redid them later on in 2005-06 to make them more accuret to the prototypes.

[david245611]

are you talking about shay 6 in Cass WV?
