The dummy knuckle coupler was used due to the space in the boards were used up when they used the whistle steam, thus the spot for the front electro coupler was used. If you want a working front coupler, you need to mod the board and give up the whistle steam. It is a disapontment. MTH should of spent a little R&D to make a new board with new added features. This is the same on the erie angus. And im sure it will happen to any front working coupler steam loco.
Got'cha! Hook front & back couplers in (electrical) parallel. Which ever way you're going, that coupler will be reclosed, while the one you're pulling away from stays open. So easy, a railfan could do it! @@mslickstrains
Them there Shay Locomotives and Climax Locomotives are my favorite. I'll never be able to afford one because the bank won't let me take a second mortgage out on my cardboard house 😂
Beautiful model. But your narration is, well, "boring". You keep repeating the phrase "very nice" and of course the word "boring". You should write your narration and organize your thought to avoid repetition, etc.

Good to know thanks for the info. It’s not a bad trade off I love whistle steam. But I agree they should have figured out a way to make it all work

Go get you one
That is an amazing locomotive. Thanks for sharing.
yes it is awesome, thanks for watching
I love it!
So much detail
a whole lot of detail
Incredible engine.
thanks for watching hunter its pretty awesome
They had a 4 truck shay years ago, I seen one of them. This new release has all of the bells and whistles with DCS yea the whistle steam is neat.
It’s awesome
Spectacular 😊
The whistle is crisp
its one of the best
Love love love this engine it’s beautiful
yes it is thanks for watching
Geared
on the back of the tender ? those are 2 aux sand boxes
That’s what I assumed
Yes they sure are David.
Any curve testing to see how tight this can run?
I wouldn’t push it until 060
beautiful model , but the 2 truck shay was far more common
That’s why they made the 4 truck shay
they used a rod engine chuff rate the sha has 3 cylinders it chuffs 123,123, 123, not 1,2,3,4.
So it’s a 3 chuff rate?
Should be: She has a 3-cylinder engine. @@mslickstrains
