Hello everyone,
While I like anything related to Trains, I really like the Shay Locomotives. One of us was kind enough to provided me a few years ago with the plans of a “Silver City, Pinos Altos & Mogollon Shay #3”, which I am trying to recreate in 3D in my SketchUp Pro program in my PC, and I was wondering if anyone has this or any other Shay Locomotive Plans available for download. I was also interested in subscribing to the Model Railroader magazine, but I do not have a credit card of any kind, just a debit card through a bank here in Guelph, ON, Canada. Can someone please provide me with the information I need to make this process work. Thanks in advance,

WHAT??? No credit card? That’s “un-American”!!
Oh, sorry about that, I see you’re Canadian, well, in that case it’s alright.

P.S. Just for the record, I don’t either, but the wife does…
What sort of SHAY are you wanting to build? I have MDC plans for 20Ton units & perhaps detail shots of others in books that I could possibly scan for you. However, they may only be as good as internet research I did to get an idea of the general look of a SHAY when I built my first one that didn’t have instructions. The nice thing, is that some SHAYS were pretty freelanced, as long as they were functional, so you may have a lot of ‘custom-ability’ if you want to.
Good luck, & please reply if you want specific info, there are a lot of SHAY folks here… We want to help ya out…
I suspect your ‘debit’ card will work just loke a credit card. I use my debit card for most local and on-line purchases. Maybe there is some restriction in Canada or with your bank - give them a cal and ask.
