PC101IIRC I remember seeing a N-scale Shay at a Train Show many years ago, maybe 20. IIRC it had a bulky looking boiler.
My friend Randy has a brass model shay in N scale. They also have one for sale at Gulf Coast Model Railroading.
It is bigger than any shay ever made, but not bigger than could have been made.

I thought the MDC Shay was the coolest loco in the Hobby Store at the time with a REG. PRICE of $45.00, OUR PRICE $37.97. I was tickled to death. My Shay is DC and the ''painted'' date is 10/11/84. It is lettered for the Buffalo and Susquhanna RR. The front and rear pilot, for some reason were soaked in Brake fluid, a BIG MISTAKE. I crafted two out of real wood (not shown in the photo).
It's not any of the two Locos. mentioned above but I thought you may like to see another Shay. Many years ago I added this IRON HORSE MODELS By PRECISION SCALE CO. Shay to my stable of Logging Equipment and never painted it yet.

Thanks for the kind words guys!I didn't know they could even make a Shay in N gauge!
There is a kit for an N scale shay right now on e-bay, since it is a relativly unknown company you may be able to get it for a good price.
Those are great Phil. Deffinatly two of my all time favorites. I have recently acquired the Challenger, a generous birthday present from my Brother.
I've been looking for a Shay or two for years. In N scale very few are out there and none of the elite loco manufacturers have made them for years if ever at all. The sub par loco manufacturer ones I do occasionally stumble across are used and they want 2-3 times as much as a new one would cost. I guess no one wants to part with their Shays as they are a bit rare lately.
I'm thinking about getting a kit and one of the motors for them that are sold separately. Although I don't know much about them. Looks like you did a great job on yours
