I think a 3-truck Shay would also make a lovely set:

A log wagon could go with it. I have a prototype chassis with BBB wheels
and working transmission shafts, though the engine space is a bit of a
squash!

I doubt a Shay would be possible in 6 wide - even with non working shafts,
they have to be beside the wheels, requiring at least 8 wide.
I found the minimum
practical scale was 10 wide.

It might encourage more people to build to 8mm scale :-)
