Rick ,
What about the beautiful 2-foot,two cylinder Shay ?
Does anyone know where it is ? I heard it was in a machine shop in Boulder ,then was for sale . I was fortunate enough to see it run back in 1980 at the HCR . My memory fails me but I might have rode it too . I remember the firebox door was so tiny it had to be fired with a stove shovel .
