Shay loco constructin
| July 19, 2017 11:51AM |
Gentlemen: I have been reviewing the blue prints for my loco of choice (Shay MichCal #5) and am having difficulty finding a print that showed exactly how the engine (all 3 cylinders) were actually mounted to the locomotive frame. I do not believe that the engine was attached directly to the boiler, as the boiler mounts and brackets are separate. I'm wondering if any one may have a picture of just the locomotive frame and engine mount. (most likely a Shay accident with frame upside down). Thanks, Doc
