Rich,

I live about 30 miles from the Forestry Center in Portland, OR. Is this a Shay that would answer your question?

Their Shay has the boiler cover and insulation removed, and has public cab access. That may provide a view of the boiler side to see if there is a taper.

I may be able to go there sometime next week, if nothing is found for you before then.

Bruce
