  • im curious, is this engine design better than the "ordinary" locomotives we see?

  • The real thing has power.

    I want to see the thing by these eyes.

  • @jrkepler The three cylinders drive a shaft which drives the three trucks on the locomotive, of course... each cylinder appears to have its own set of Stevenson valve gear linkages, which I would assume are all connected to the same control in the cab.

  • Does a Shay drive any different than a conventional steam locomotive? I don't see any linkage or anything to adjust the cutoff.

  • Old West Side Lumber Company #7 is one of my favorite locomotives, and she also happens to be the crews favorite for its easy steaming, lubricating, and firing.

  • With all of the rod loco videos on youtube, it's neat to see a geared locomotive in action!
