All,
To the best of my knowledge the WSLCo Shay #12 always was and still is to this day narrow gauge. It is currently at the Colorado Railroad Museum. However PBL made some of them (I think I heard 20 of them) in Standard gauge in the 80s. No matter what Shay PBL has made in the past or will in the future I have the best one ever made in S Scale. http://www.lanestrains.com/Howie.htm I have Howie's Shay! The other Shays could pull maybe 15 log buggies. My Shay had the power to bring a wonderful person into S Scale for many of us to know and enjoy his company. It is THE Shay, the S Scale piece that brought Howie to us and become an S Scaler. It just does not get any better than that. The story goes that Howie bought the Shay once he was well enough after having his heart bypass. He ran it for an honest 3 feet when it cracked a gear making it unusable. So it sat for many years until the Late Bill Daiker got a hold if it and reworked the drive to get it running again. And does it run well - like a SHAY! PBL Shay in the 80s $600.00 New gear to repair dive $6.00 Bill Daiker's repair and paint job (Probably free to Howie) Hearing Howie tell his stories at an NASG Convention PRICELESS!
