Two live steam models of West Side Lumber Shays #14 and #15. These 2 1/2" scale engines feature 100% working appliances, down to the turbogenerators. Both were built by Richard Ulin of Ulin Locomotive Works. This is part 1 of 2, split up due to YouTube length limitations. Part two can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBek-R1OoGs&fmt=18

  • does rich ulin still build? these are amazing looking shays

  • He does. He offers castings and and also builds whole engines.

  • ah comon why arent they coal fired

  • Prototype West Side Shays were oil fired. California had a bounty of oil and no coal deposites. Coal was used on the East Coast and parts of the mid-west were coal deposites were readily available.  Also, coal embers are more likely to spark forest fires.
