I should say that I built this MOC in response an article called “SELECTIVE
COMPRESSION APPLIED TO MECHANICAL DETAILS” by Steve Barile in
RAILBRICKS issue 3 on page 34-35
where it says:
“The Shay does not have traditional steam driver wheels but instead only
front and rear two axle trucks. What is tricky about modeling the Shay is the
rotating, bending, and changing length of the drive shaft, while maintaining
a 90° crown gear connection to each axle as well as a connection to the
vertical piston rods. It barely makes mechanical sense while studying the
real engine. Trying to achieve this in a six wide (even eight wide) train
with a pure LEGO solution seems to be impossible (ha, a challenge!).”
I hope my 8-wide MOC answers this challenge!

Kurt, this is a superb MOC! Well done! I especially appreciate its 8widyness and
the vids of it in action! Bravo!
