7 1/4 inch gauge shay

[Matthyro]

This is a live steam shay being built by a member of the Golden Horseshoe Live Steam club. He had it on display at the Toronto Train show.
He figures another two years to complete this maginificent loco.

He also made this neat donkey engine.

Can he do that in N-Scale? That is some pretty fantastic stuff!

7 1/4, eh? Where is he living now? Does he enjoy traveling?

Very nice work of art, and if he's ever in Nova Scotia, i wanna meet him and have him run it at the TC&WR! Sweet stuff!

siderod, he currently lives in Hamilton ON. I know he is planning a trip west to Vancouver but the folks out there have set there gauge at 7 1/2 inch for some reason. On the other side of the shay the wheels can be adjusted to the 7 1/2inch. This guy is quite a machinist.
