Mad scientist 
So if I understand correctly the gearing tower is in the or behind the cylinders?
not through the trucks like on all the shay models before you
WOW trailblazer
Impressive, really

[Ray Dunakin]

Amazing work!

Thank you gentlemen!

Gil,
NO!
The motor is up inside the vertical boiler, the gears below and out to the(right)to the engines crankshaft.
The crankshaft has the driven gear in the center.
Then the crankshaft will turn the driveshafts, which turn the pinions and then turn the wheels/ ring gears.

I'm no trailblazer, I basically copied what Bachmann did in On30.

Am I wrong
Traditional brass imported Shays were powered through the rear truck
I don't own a Bachmann Shay, so I have never seen their power arrangement
cool none the less.

Traditional brass imported Shays were powered through the rear truck Huh

Beats me, I could not afford a Traditional brass imported Shays

It will be "cool" when it moves on it's own with r/c power down dead rails!

Well, yeah, that will be cool ... but if you really want to mess with their heads ... double-flanged wheels and pole road!  Look, suckers, my Shay runs on wooden rails ... neener, neener!   

[lab-dad]

LOL!
Hey Dallas, what about an R/C team of oxen! on a pole road!

Arno,
Thanks!

They said of a Climax loco that you could scratch two lines in the dirt and it would follow them.

A part of the Arrangement of Driver Brake's drawing for my project. Not obvious to see I guess 

[lab-dad]

Got the valve linkage, eccentrics and rockers installed.
Just need the rod up to the valve chest.



Sure is cool to see it all in action!
Once i get it back on the frame I'll shoot a video.
