Whoa! This is spooky. I lived in Bind Bay from 63 to 66, next door (across from Art Reedman's and the Blind Bay Resort) to the Blind Bay store owned by Frank & Ann Herrick. Our house is gone now (I saw that it was knocked down a bunch of years ago). SMALL small world!

Cheez!! I've got a 12" cutter like that and it never dawned on me to try it with styrene. Thank you for the tip! Life will be even MORE fun now! :)

Looking good! What did you use for roofing material?

I am a safety professional (some say Safety Nazi) for a major Canadian upstream oil and gas producer. We provide a very large chunk of the natural gas that yawl burn to stay warm or stay cool in the Yew Ess Eh! Past lives include 15 years in the service of the Queen at sea, down below making...

Are you into scratch building? I recently found some cool drawings of a company house in an old 70's RMC magazine.

Challenge completed And...pretty much done. This building will still need a platform when I find a home for it. For now though, I think I've done all the damage that I'm going to do!

Making a little progress with my kit-bash. Vacation put a dent in the process but it's getting there!

Wow those things were selling for $99 here last Christmas season! I'd love to have one of the engines but the timing is just not right.

Okay, I found this kit in amongst a bunch of stuff that came in a package purchased on eBay. Anyone familiar with this brand? I have never heard of it but that is of no consequence. The instructions call it a "Backwoods Freight Station". I figure to bash it into a backwoods depot/freight house...

Mine has frustrated me to the point where I have all but given up. Not to run quietly but to run at all. I have gotten it to a point where the driveline doesn't jam, using only one driving axle (gears cut off the other 3) but now the 3 other axles won't turn, so the thing just sits there and...

Axle gears Shamus - I see from the photos in your tutorial that your axle gears are helical. The gears on my axles are straight cut. Could this have something to do with why my bogies come apart? I am down to one gear on the line shafts, but it's still binding badly. I have sanded the faces...

Part 6 Yep you sure did! I was looking for something about installing the drive shafts and maybe a few words of wisdom regarding the the ways and means of keeing the engine shafts connected to the side frame jackshafts. I have copied and pasted your tutorial into a word .doc file if you are...

Ut Oh! Shamus, I have to confess that my old eyes are failing me worse than I had thought, however I'll break down and ask...did you do a "Part 6" that I am not seeing? I seem to find Part 5 then you appear to skip to the Shay-Garrett drawings. Where did I go wrong, please?!?:cry:

SHAY Guide Paul & shamus, what a tremendous resource you have provided! I am very grateful. I thought I had searched out everything on Google. Apparently not! Thank you again!:thumb:

My MDC Shay kit build is making me insane as well. Jumping gears, binding up...sigh. Any hope somewhere?
