Help please...
Looking for prototype photos,
of narrow gauge Open Cab T-Boiler Shay.
I am hoping to kitbash a Bachmann On30 Shay,
and to prove 'conformity' I need a prototype photo,
to show that these actually existed somewhere in the world.
Many thanks for your help...
Peter

Google "Shay Locomotives.com" for a number of photos of the T-Boiler Shays,
for a challenge you could build one of the 4 left hand Shays, built for service in Mexico.

The photo shows #4 (Lima 1673)
that operated cabless after a roll-over accident,
and was converted to 3' in 1917 after the 1913 abandonment.

Oh, and if your lumber company needs an airplane,
here's a reference for that existing in the real world.

"F. Edwin Mower and Ben Alley,
in Front of the Mower Lumber Company's Plane,
Charleston, W. Va."

Oh Lord!
Like things aren't hard enough with scales, gauges, finescale, tinplate, eras, steam,
diesel, command control, walk around, DC, DCC, prototype vs freelance and whatnot,
now you wants us to do obscure airplanes also...

But who wouldn't want a pretty little Mower Lumber seaplane,
to go with their Mower Lumber Shay?

(hmm, I suppose the creative kitbasher,
could come up with a Mower Lumber Shayplane)

Only a vertical boiler version, not a T-Boiler version.
Seems the loco frame was built like a bridge truss,
with the roof an afterthought.

I tried clicking on the link ^^ above.
It spent ages, using up my data, loading a ton of YouTube junk
& then AFTER all that happened, just said "Browser Not Supported"
Click HERE to 'upgrade' your out of date Browser (or something ?)
I don't click the 'I AGREE' button on Ad. & Spam sites like F*c$B**%
I would be VERY VERY WARY as well, on clicking any 'upgrade HERE' links
Unless it is from a KNOWN trusted source & not hackers or spammers
I'm told F*c$B**% is GREAT for drain-unblocking how to advice !
& where to buy expensive 'beauty products' from, but Trains ?
Pull the other one Suckerburger, it's got a whistle on it !
F*c$B**%s main objective is to KILL OFF all their 'competition'
Taking as much of your time & money in the process, of course !
Having said that, if F*c$B**%s sees this & wants an Ad. on Freerails
We'll take the money & maybe even grovel for it, if it's "telephone numbers" !
Gerold, the very early vertical-boiler cabless Shay you Posted, is a PEACH !
That totally made my day, its lumber constructed chassis & all !
Nice links to the dudes top-notch 'Shay Site' as well.
Eddie

I use Firefox (newest version) with the built-in blocking capabilities,
and had no problem in opening the site without any pop-ups etc.

Same with Chrome.... and a simple free Adblocker....
I avoid FB like the plague....
But some of its pages may be viewed without being molested.
Eddie, what browser do you use? -
and I agree, I wouldn't click on anything there.

I think I must have seen just about every 'oDd' Shay photo going.
The ONLY truly cabless or topless Shay I've ever seen, is in Post-2.
But that, by no means whatsoever, doesn't mean they didn't exist.
THEY DID !
If you were a 'back in the day' photographer, with 100s LBs of gear,
would you be looking to photograph rusty old wrecked T-boiler Shays ?
NO, of course you wouldn't !
Even the Kinsey brothers had 'priorities' as to what got photographed.
Shiny new Shays, with the logging company owner next to them, YES.
The one that got pulled out of a gulch, or had its cab caught fire, NO.
I suspect most sane photographers of the day would rather stay in town.
May get a shot of John Wayne riding down Main St. on a white elephant !
I would build the On30 model & get it finished as proof of 'conformity'.
 
Si.

Interesting write up on the Munro SHAYs,
certainly a different cab design then I've ever seen before.
