Sorry no digital camera, but I'm thinking of devoting a brickshelf folder to
mods eventually.  I'll take film pictures when it all works and get the CD too.

I had it working at a pulley ratio of 1:4 last night - about realistic Shay
speed at 9V with the 12:20 bevel ratio.  I'll have to synchronise it so that a
9V train motor on 1st notch moves the same speed as the Shay at the same
voltage.  That probably means gearing up the Shay to motor speed for a 43362
motor.
