(...) Thanks Marc! He actually operated one? Cool! Cass is definitely on my list of places to visit in the US. Maybe next time I get to BF - it's not all that far away from DC :) ROSCO (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yep it does make a nice sound, with the 2 motors whirring. I've actually just yesterday re-built it using the un-geared motors, to see if I could get it running close to the same speed as a train motor, and the reduction in volume is amazing! (...)

(...) Thanks Lewis! Yes it is definitely too big for minifigs. (...) Yes the pistons also run, but they run at the same speed as the axles. Because the drive shafts are geared faster than the axles (12:20) this means the pistons run slower than the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Great looking shay, very close the the real #2. Boy that guy is huge, (10 wide) definitly not minifig scale. Does the pistons run also. You show the detail in the tender, but i did not see any detail in the engine. How did you deal with the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Oh my, that is one fine looking locomotive & tender. Great job! I'd love to see and hear it run - with all those gears it must make a great sound. Now, to build a couple flat cars hauling logs behind it, right? <grin> JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Ross, that is one extremely fine looking engine. Nice done!!! The overall shape is pleasing and true to form. I am especially fond of the curve "walls" on the tender. I think that the tan and black is a great combo and it's nice to see you add (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
