  • Wow! Reminds me of when I lived in Colorado.

    Used to videotape the Shays at the Georgetown

    loop. I have video posted of them if you would like to see it.

  • Yes, I'd VERY MUCH like to see your video of the Georgetown Loop Shays! :) Got to dig up & upload some of the footage I shot down at Cass Scenic RR. a few years back. ;)

  • Is that the fastest it can go?

  • No, it can go faster, but what you're seeing is a realistic operating speed for a Shay; real ones typically had a top speed of ONLY @ 12 MPH, they were built for pulling power & flexibility on rough logging trackage. I've programmed the sound system to give a realistic chuff rate; run the loco much faster, it sounds more like an EMD 567 diesel prime mover! ;)

  • Thanks, I finally got mine at a train show in Milwaukee(for $350!) the other day, OLC #110, no sound. I wont be back home till Monday, and wont be able to run it till tuesday. but i can't wait.

  • I haven't tried the Shay on ordinary DC track power, so can't answer that question for you. This particular version came with the factory-installed Tsunami sound decoder.

  • NO mods! - This was the STOCK Bachmann smoke generator & fluid! Running on DCC (vs. regular analog DC track power) keeps the voltage to the smoke unit at maximum (@ 20 volts, in this case), which is why the prolific smoke output. Several of my other Bachmann engines perform similarly on DCC.

  • where did you get the smoke generator?! That's alot of smoke!!

  • Did you do a mod to your smoke system? because I have this same shay and it doesnt smoke NOTHING like yours!!!! Great vid!

  • one last question. did the engine come equipped with a decoder and if not what kind did you install.
