It's funny how much that Shay towers over the 2-4-2 in the footage of the engine shed. Although I'm sure that Shay would be dwarfed if it stood next to a standard gauge Shay.

Actually, Shays can be regauged to run on what ever size track you can imagine!
Here at Hesston, we could in effect borrow a shay from the Cass Scenic Railroad a run it here. Just another of the many advantages of geared engines.

That's the O&K, Orenstien and Koppel from Germany. We have been working on it for the past two years, and it's now running every weekend, it's an 0-8-0 used during world war two. We are also waiting for a replacement boiler for our 1911 Porter 2-6-0, hopefully that will run next year.
