If you are interested in watching a shay slowly be brought back to life, follow my link below. The link is chapter 1, to the right you will see a chapter list, I just started chapter 2.
I am not involved in the refurb but this engine has family ties to me, plus I grew up about 300 yards from where this is taking place. The volunteers the are performing this found my blog and have been providing weekly updates.
Hope you enjoy, and there are many more updates to come.
G S : what a great project, photos superb, Can you pass on a note to the rebuilders about the tool from a guys garage to move the shay, tell them we call the tool a PINCH BAR in Canadaland. (don’t know what it is called in U.S.)
A recent update, work is slow due to the winter, the museum is currently saving a piece of Great Northern history, a bridge that was used as a haul road bridge, has been removed and was going to be scrapped. The museum is trying to get the bridge donated for use on a future RR loop at the museum grounds.
