It's hard not to love a machine with the primary working parts on the outside!
My childhood memories of railways revived.thanks A lot.
Same.
Nice touch delivering firewood to the campground.
That brings back old memories of the West Side Lumber Co.
something so hypnotic about the mechanics of these engines. love em!
I grew up in the town of Tuolumne where the West Side Lumber Co mill operated. I actually got to ride in the locomotive, with the engineer of WSLCo Shay #15, from Tuolumne to Camp 24 in 1955 when I was 10 years old.
A fantastic piece of Railroad Footage--Thanks !!

These shays are beautiful!!
Those were built by my Grandpa, used to ride on them when I was younger
These people are really fentastic
The two WSLC engines 14 and 15 still exist. 14 is in the Colorado railroad museum in golden, Colorado and 15 is in Yosemite mountain sugar pine railroad.
Along with 10 and 12.
All of the West Side Three Truck Shays are still with us. Some are operational, some are static museum displays. #7 is at Roaring Camp and Big Trees.
@@whitehedr I have rode behind #7 before, and visiting Roaring Camp since I live not too far from there. The last time I rode behind it was in 2017 for my birthday. I do hope it would return soon.
Just came across this, and just having gotten the "New Shay" by Kozo, which I'd already planned to scale at 2 1/2" and Narrow gauge, found this to be perfect! These are awesome!
Love seeing the Stephenson valve gears in action!
There is a scaled up Kozo shay that runs on 7 1/2" track, I've seen it at LALS. Still all made of brass and unpainted, very striking engine. mikemassee.com/gallery/v/livesteam/album/LALS_50th/kozo_shay/LALS_50th_Anniv_3540-01.jpg.html
Thanks for that link! That was a gorgeous engine! Built to Kozo's first shay plans. I'm now working to the new shay plans, his second shay, designed around a 1920's shay.
I am lucky enough to live within an hours drive from a scenic RR that uses two full size shays....they where originally used to haul lumber down out of the mountains...
JD Bruno if youre talking about cass,wv it is such a beautiful place with some very powerful machines!
Sounds like the Yosemite sugar pine RR
My all time favorite locomotive
Wonderful Vid ! I could watch the Shays for hours . From the driving side they look like they're powered by a herd of small galloping ponies ! Wales UK land of narrow guage .
Hope to see more uploads, CaptainHarlock999!
Great videos, with great people!
Hell that's amazing 👍👍🤓
my new life goal right here
Absolutely beautiful, and I would give my left leg to operate one for a day!.
Very nice. I will admit tho, I’d rather have a 2-truck Shay rather than a 3-truck.
There's no way this model is half the size of real locomotive.
The title may not be clear to metric users....they are two and a half inch to the foot scale, that is about 1/5 full size. Cheers.
Now I see. 12/2.5=4.8 You're right. The imperial units are so tricky for me. One more thing, Do you use a comma or a dot for decimal numbers?
Kevinacho Murillo
We use a dot. :)
+Kevinacho Murillo Sorry, there's something wrong with us Americans.
I'm guessing 2 1/2 inch scale means 1 foot equals 2 1/2 inches so its 1/4.8th scale.
CaptainHarlock, I became enamored of
the Shay engines, as a kid. Big Trees RR
in Felton Ca. (Santa Cruz mountains.)
Great design. Guys, why not lumber cars
behind them?
steve
beauty machine💓
That is certainly the rich-man’s hobby.
It must cost hundreds of thousands in machining time for each one of those Shays. The rolling stock is probably $100s to $1,000s each.
WOOOOOOO
As a Looper, Georgetown Loop rr employee I got to operate GB&L14 on several occasions. I also got to operate GB&L12. These both are ex West Side Lumber Co. locomotives.
The joke is that the 14 is a slut. She will put out for anyone. It’s said if you hold a lighter up to the firebox door she will steam.
The 12 on the other hand was said to be very difficult. I personally never had a problem with her. To me the 12 was a slick a locomotive as the 14 and used less water.
Loopers of 2004 highball.
great fun. thanks
Впечатлило. это ж сколько времени надо было потратить... а ващпе удивлён....

WOW! Very cool! How much do those locomotives weigh? How much weight do you think they could pull?
Some can be up to 10 ton or more n weight
are both oil burners? or coal
Can i barow pls
Is this Standard Gauge or Narrow Gauge?
Narrow Gauge - 3ft prototype and scaled appropriately for 7.5" gauge track. Cheers.
I am totally ignorant here! I have never come across that drive system before. Anyone point me at more info on that - it's fascinating.
Google "Shay Steam Locomotives". These were designed for logging applications so they could climb and descend grades that other locomotives would struggle with. The driveshaft powers all the trucks on the locomotive and sometimes even on the tender. That gives the loco more tractive force, much like an all wheel drive car. You will notice the boiler is offset to allow room for the unique driveline setup, a distinguishing characteristic of the Shays. There are a couple original Shays still in operation on historic/scenic railways.
Many thanks for the info - I shall now explore further. I can imagine the extra tractive force obtained. Quite fascinating.
Rode behind one in Durbin WV a couple years ago. Watching these on video doesn't do them justice. Real pieces of mechanical art.
Hi Chris. They are one of the three major geared types of logging locomotive. Emphram Shay was the inventor. I reccomend "Pacific Coast Shay: Strong Man of the Woods" by Dan Ranger. Unfortunately, the most complete volume, "The Shay Locomotive: Titan of the Timber" by Michael Koch is long out of print and very expensive, but you can find copies on Amazon and Ebay. Otherwise, check out shaylocomotive.com for some info online.
Many thanks for the info. I have managed a bit of research now and understand better. Totally fascinating.
Were is this very Nice Railroud ?
*Railway
Are these oil fired as in bunker oil?
Probably diesel as bunker oil is very thick at normal temperatures, and also very messy.
Is there a set of drawings for these engines?
Richard Ulin of Ulin Locomotive Works sells the drawings. (and castings) there are probably also prototype erection drawings from Lima, the builders of the prototypes, if they survived.
Where can someone get one of these?
How can I obtain one and if I can how much?
