From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Bill, That is one loco that I will never call a toy. The sound of a shay would be awsom if you could find it. You have done wonders to it as it is. Sometimes there is a limit to what we can do.

Rich & Alan, Yes I had some thoughts about that statement from Alan as well. I have a PBL Shay (WSLCO #12) that is near and dear to my heart because it was owned by my friend the late Howie Waelder. There are a few things I wanted for the DCC and a few more I did not - like WIRES between the loco and Aux tender. It is tough enough to get his thing on the track without dealing with any plugs. If you have ever worked on this Shay you know it is incredibly tight for space. I shoehorned in a N SCALE decoder (not sound) under the motor/gearbox. So this wonderful Shay does not have a sound unit. It is amazingly quiet and Purrs along at speeds you have to stare at it without blinking to make sure it is really moving. Don’t call it a toy!
