My favorite locomotive is the Shay...

Being the Shay lover that I am, here's a site I found I wanted to share with all other Shay lovers. My absolute favorite Shay is a SN #60 and my second would be most any "T" boiler Shay. Both these engines I built in HO scale a lot of years ago. :D http://www.shaylocomotives.com/index.html...

random textures ? You mean you have a way to use random texturing popping in every time you place one? :shock: Or, are you just tryin' to keep me from re-skinnin' 'em... :mrgreen: :lol: Looking pretty darn good as they are, bud. :D Real sweet job. :) I'd like to use 'em for sand and rock or ballast...

OK, here's the first go-round of the Jimmy coalcar

Please comment and suggest. I'm not sure it's perfect, yet although I do like it. The wheels need a little work still.

Just showing off again. Route building...

I've started a new route in Trainz and got hung up detailing this little corner.

So, the Bakers built that house a...

Good news, great! Keep up the wonderful work. And, you're right, not much 30" stuff out there... I am thankful for what there is in all narrow gauges, though.

Were there any plans to make it into a 3 foot gauge?

Thanks,

This has got to be the most wonderful little 0-4-0 I've seen on the net.
Any idea when I/we can expect it?
