Gregg Bartley General I've never seen one of those types of steam locos in operation, but my vision of them is that they don't go much faster than about 10 mph. I might be wrong, but the gearing and small wheels just make it look like it has lots of power (for hauling those big logs out of the mountains) but very little speed. 5/15/2008 5:08:54 PM
Ron Moraca General Give me a photo of a shay, any time, anywhere, and I'm happy! Fabulous photo, Bill! 11/14/2008 12:18:53 AM
