3 truck shay
Posted by grandpopswalt on Thursday, April 13, 2006 12:51 PM
Does anyone have any information about a Spectrum 1:20 scale 3 truck shay being released by Bachmann? Also, any idea when B'mann is releasing their new line of 1:20 scale frieght cars? While we're at it, any word on B'mann's K-27 or K28?

I know St. Aubins and Trainworld are already taking pre-orders. They are about $500! But looking at the prototype drawings on the St. Aubins site, it looks pretty cool!

It's good to know that there are members out there that own a shay like my self . A matter a fact I like shays so much I also have one in "O" guage as well. I've been working on my mountain excursion for "G" guage only for a couple of days, this past weekend. I just want to know if you can mix aristocraft with LGB track and will it work or short out on me?.

Worth buying the Aristo drill/tap set, a bag of track bolts and some track joiners. Replace the LGB track joiners with Aristo ones, drill and tap the track and bolt together, that's the great thing - for me - about Aristo track, it bolts together.
