Hello-
I have come across a deal on an Aster Western Maryland Shay -- It is a
spectacular deal. The engine was factory built and has never been run, only
shelf displayed. I intend to run this engine and I am 99.9% convinced that
I should go ahead and buy it, but I thought I would see if anybody
jaws in the indentations. The back can then be unscrewed by twisting the
handles of the pliers like a screw driver. The back comes out and then the
turned aluminum reflector and glass lens can be slipped out.

So far I am very, very pleased. This engine is indeed a bargain!!

these offerings are years out from now. He also mentioned that they
were contemplating offering a larger three cylinder, three truck Shay most
likely to be based on one of West Sides. I continued trying to convince them
to offer a live steam Heisler. No plans for that yet though (rats!!)

Hey Jeff-

Richard-
To prep the parts for JB Weld you should follow standard epoxy procedures.
Degrease all parts -- I use lacquer thinner. hard or shiny surfaces should
be scuffed or drilled if possible so the adhesive has some "tooth" to grab
on to. Preferably you will not be gluing on painted surfaces
As Jeff pointed out make sure you get the long cure stuff. JB weld is great
stuff for live steamers. On my Ida I drilled my smoke box for rivet detail
and inserted brass estuchens (sp?) then fixed them on the back side with
drops of JB instead of the usual solder. It works great. I'll anchor m
achmann,
Aristo, Accucraft, etc. work fine. It is important to note that in the
woods anything goes as far as couplers are concerned. If there was a height
mismatch (which was common) then they would simply use an offset link or
long rooster (draw bar) to compensate.

I might go for the black version to fill the void in my collection where my

I'm with you Vance. I am afraid I have become a bit of a snob when it comes
to rolling stock and now I only go for the true scale stuff. Unfortunately
I have yet to see my loco pull my Hartford high side gon and CTM brass tank
car because the track at Tony Dixons wouldn't accommodate the huge 1:
I threatened to do it and now it's done. I painted and weathered my new
C-16 "Bee." I'm quite happy with the results. And she seems to be a great
runner too. There are pictures of the finished (almost) product at the
following URLs. I still need to get some decals made for the loco and

I swung by Accucraft HQ today and picked up my C-16. It's a real beauty. I
got a smokin' deal on it because it was used. It's No. 268 in the Bee
livery. My preference would have been black but what can I say it was a
good deal. Anyway that brings me to my issue. I would like to paint this

Vance-
I know three people with Accucraft C-16's two of them have installed RC gear
the other (Harlan Barr) kept his manual. One thing that both people with
RC did was drop a sealed gel-cel battery directly into the water in the
tender to power the RC gear. RC in the C-16 is tricky. I have yet

Thanks for posting the link! She looks like a great big Ruby to me.
Accucraft has always said that Ruby was loosely based on Baldwin practice.
Seems to be true.

Thanks for the words of welcome. To answer your question Steve I am waiting
for the Accucraft shay. (Mich Cal #2) I just couldn't say no to the price.
Roger, the C-16 is Harlan Barr's I would love to get more photos of it in
action. It's a great runner. Thanks again to all who took the time t
Hello-
My name is Eric Maschwitz. For those of you who don't know me, allow me to
introduce myself. I am just getting involved in live steam and a new
member to this list-serve. I am a relatively recent transplant to CA. I
moved from Minnesota a while back where I was born and raised.
