Thanks to all of you folks, I did the google,ask.com and bing. but, you guys had great site info. Wow.... North East Rails does have some neat stuff. I see many evening scratch sesions in the works. Hmmm a 4 truck shay..... shouldn't be difficult.
Thanks again Modelers helping modelers.
I'd take a look at Northeast Railfan. They got every type of loco under the sun. For the Shay drawings, look at http://www.northeast.railfan.net/steam8.html It takes a bit to load, but its worth it.
Yeah, a four truck Shay is impressive. Twenty were built.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? a F-O-U-R truck Shay?
I like Shay's. The lokes, not hte girls, I don't know any person named Shay. They are one of my top fav steamers. I've always said I don't care how much it doesn't fit my layout I'm going to have a shay on it.

This is a lot easier. You can go though the links at your convenience.

You can do a google search for "shay drawing" ... look out for pictures of girls named Shay ... ignore those.
Also, there is a company that makes a blueprint style picture of a large modern Shay that is suitable for framing. I forget the company that sells it ... A historical railroad catalogue of some kind. Maybe someone else will remember.

Hi there I am looking for a profile drawing of either a 2 or a 3 truck Shay Locomotive. I am decorating my train room with various drawings os the locos on my layout. Could one of you kind souls point me in the proper direction?
Thank you in advance. Bo
