even though im just getting back in to MRR . one thing ive always wanted on my layout and never got to do was a logging RR like in north florida south georgia.
steam donkeys and overhead traverses with gin pole movement leading to a well done mill
who is making reliable shays nowadays. and about what would one cost.
There’s only one N scale Shay available (outside of any possible brass models). Atlas came out with it last year. Generally favorable response. They had some problems with the universal joints in the first release, but that was corrected and people seem happy with them. msrp was $200, but they were available at internet dealers for around $150-165. I say ‘were’, because i’t’s hard to find any now. They sold well enough that Atlas may come out with another release. Or you may find one at a LHS or on ebay.
