Hi there I am looking for a profile drawing of either a 2 or a 3 truck Shay Locomotive. I am decorating my train room with various drawings os the locos on my layout. Could one of you kind souls point me in the proper direction?

Thank you in advance. Bo

You can do a google search for “shay drawing” … look out for pictures of girls named Shay … ignore those.

Also, there is a company that makes a blueprint style picture of a large modern Shay that is suitable for framing. I forget the company that sells it … A historical railroad catalogue of some kind. Maybe someone else will remember.

[:O][:O][:O]Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? a F-O-U-R truck Shay?

I like Shay’s. The lokes, not hte girls, I don’t know any person named Shay. They are one of my top fav steamers. I’ve always said I don’t care how much it doesn’t fit my layout I’m going to have a shay on it.

Yeah, a four truck Shay is impressive. Twenty were built.

Four Shays were bult “left handed” for a RR in Mexico. Top photo in below link.

I’d take a look at Northeast Railfan. They got every type of loco under the sun. For the Shay drawings, look at http://www.northeast.railfan.net/steam8.html It takes a bit to load, but its worth it.

Thanks to all of you folks, I did the google,ask.com and bing. but, you guys had great site info. Wow… North East Rails does have some neat stuff. I see many evening scratch sesions in the works. Hmmm a 4 truck shay… shouldn’t be difficult.

Thanks again Modelers helping modelers.
