#7 and #4 are both 70 ton Shays. Cass has moved up to larger locomotives as they have become available. #5 is an 80 ton Shay with an actual weight of 90 tons, #11 is a 90 ton Shay, but is actually a 103 ton engine. Big #6 is of course a 150 ton Shay that actually weighs 162 tons. #2 is a Pacific Coast Shay and weighs 93 tons. I doubt if they will ever put scarce resources into restoring the #7.
