Ed: That would be George & Mark Ice. They have recently built a 2 foot gage copy of Shay's "baby" locomotive. While not live steam it sure is a convincing replica! I did see it when I was out there about 5 years ago. It was not done then but has since been completed. They have a loop of 2 foot gage track, part of which is on Shay's original roadbed. They gave me one of Shays original "spikes" from the original logging railroad that they found buried in the ground. It looks more like a flat nail than a spike. Nice guys and a neat place if you ever get up there!
