Well back then when that scene was depicted there was still old growth to cut down. The wood is really checked too. Its not a fresh cut. (still looks good though.)

I thought we no longer cut down the old growth forest.  Those logs are serious old growth!

Brain, Yes you caught on, I was suprised to see a shay being called a climax. I guess it happens.

Thanks! It is strange seeing you're own pics in the mag. In this hobby you learn a lot! Taking pics is just one! You just got to love it!!

So that is what a Climax looks like. Can hardly tell it apart from a Shay.  

 

 

Oh Glenn, you trouble maker!  . I didn't even notice the caption until you mentioned. I did notice those log cars could use a big shot of weathering!

I did mean to reference the February 2010 (happy New Year everyone)

My Feb 2010 GR arrived via the Reno stage Thursday. Congratulations to Sean McGillicuddy for his fine photo in the Readers Gallery and Ray Dunakin’s second part of sculpting realistic figures. That certainly looks like a Shay on the cover?

 

Have Fun, Rob

A Climax is easily distinguished by the drive pistons at a 45 degree angle to a central gearbox. Drive shaft runs down the centerline of engine.

A shay has the drive pistons vertically mounted just in front of the cab. Drive shaft runs along the side, exterior to drive wheels.
