I'm only going to say, you lift the cover of the tool box, in front of the air tank, and it's full of tools !! I'll let PJ tell you the rest, when he posts more pictures.
I've seen, and heard this shay close up, WOW!

Nice work PJ! Have you posted pics on mylargescale forums of this beauty? Thought I saw 'em there. Please do post more pics of your work and layout. I am in the early stages of detailing my outdoor G layout based around late 1800's. Steam trains and cowboys are the basis. Would love to see some pics to get ideas if you don't mind. Steve

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT COMPLAMENTS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE POSTED ANYTHING ANYWERE. STEVE, AS FAR AS A LAY OUT, I HAVE SOME BASIC LANDSCAPING DONE INCLUDING A POND BUT EVERY THING ELSE IS STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGE.
RIGHT NOW THE PLAN IS FOR AN EASTERN STYLE LOGGING ROAD SOMETIME IN THE LATE 20'S EARLY 30'S AND THE WIFE INSISTS ON A HORSE FARM. THE BASIC DIMENSIONS WILL BE AROUND 60'X35'. PJ
