The model looks really good and it is nice they made it Although I do have the point out. With the sounds they seem to give it the chuff exhaust sounds that typical rod engines give off Shay and other types of geared logging engines do not at all sound like a normal steam locomotive. Their sounds are very different both in terms of exhaust and a lot of times you usually hear the gears more than the exhaust
This model really blew my expectations away! When I got mine home I was more than happy with it. Surprisingly it can even run on O-48’s! Great video as always
Excellent video, I picked up the C&O 4 truck version last Saturday before Christmas Eve from Just Trains of Delaware. Love it and glad to see you made a video of an MTH product since your a die hard Lionel fanatic.
Very nice Shay, I love the little squatty freight cars its pulling. The whistle also sounds great. Hope you and Lisa feel better soon. Great review Eric!
Well done Eric, That was a very nice train run. Love the scenic rail line and the complete train, made a perfect look for the type of job the train was used for. Awesome.
Nice Shay. We ordered the CASS 3 Truck Shay from Legacy Station. Should be here next Week. We live here in West Virginia and have been to CASS many Times. Heading back in 2024. This new Shay will make us 8 Shays, 1 Heisler, and 1 Climax. That's how much we Love Shays and CASS. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and enjoy your new Shay.
Beautiful Shay. It reminds me of the one that Lionel came out with in the 90’s. That’ll be the next engine up on my list. Hope you both feel better. Have a very happy New year.🚂🎊🍾
I don’t know if it was because of my suggestion recently or because of the specific locomotive, but the uphill shots are awesome! Thanks for the content!
I love Shay’s. Amazing engines. Great video. I was expecting Legacy Station to come out and put it in the cargo area for you. Beautiful engine. I liked the little bit longer than normal camera on the train part of the video.
Great review Eric. I originally had a unlettered four truck and a three truck westside on order but I needed a new truck, so it was the truck over the engines
The WVP&P extended the tank of the 3-truck No. 12 into a 4-truck or Class D Shay in their own shops at Cass. They bought a few parts from Lima but used mostly parts already on hand plus steel shapes and wrapper sheets for the tank. In the 4-truck version, it was a 190-ton machine. It was scrapped long before the mill shut down. I can't imagine why the number was changed. The WM No 6 was built as a Pacific Coast model class C at 160 tons to burn coal, I believe. No 6 was the last Shay to be built by Lima in 1945. There were only a very few 4-truck Shays built or converted. Most had 2 or 3 trucks.
I recently got 2 kittens over the summer. One is named Lucy, who absolutely loves watching my trains. Another named Shay, yes I named her after Shah type steamers, I wish she liked my trains like her sister Lucy does.😂
Nice vid Eric, hope Lisa and you are feeling better. Hogmanay (New Years eve) here in Scotland so a glass of whisky should sort you out. Happy and Prosperous New Year from Scotland. Bill
Oh the wonderful sounds of a MtH engine i just love the way they sound whenever there in motion not like Lionel with all that screaching and clanging sounds i like to hear just yhe chuff thats 1 good thing MtH was noted for much better sound moving and the cab chatter sound very very close to my proto 2 stuff..
That engine is awesome really cool looking, every time you show the top view of the train going through the tunnel I’m reminded of The Battle of the Bulge movie when the train transporting a big cannon is going through that tunnel and the German’s had a Tiger Tank parked on the track , awesome scene , I think that’s the right movie, anyway thanks again!
Awesome! Would be nice if Lionel made a new legacy one thats capable of 0-31 curves. That would be great to see for everyone! If not possible for legacy I’d be happy with a Lionchief Plus 2.0 version.
I got MTH 20-3876-1 Cass Scenic 3-Truck Shay Steam Engine from Legacy Station. The tender is shorter but the engine is much longer. I love the yellow lettering and the unusual look. What do you, or anyone else, think of that? Also, I ordered 12 of the matching (as I am told) log cars. I was almost thinking of doubling those to 24 cars, since they have not come in yet. I need a good wood sided caboose, maybe red. I bet that would look awesome on a nice, large layout. If I had tons of $$$ I would order a second, different shay. I hope Lionel or MTH makes Heisler or Climax engines soon. Oh, and I ordered the Triplex super set as well, and will be adding to it from the next catalog
Funny thing about this model is, it has the wrong number it’s supposed to 12 not 14. The model looks identical to WV Pulp & Paper N°12 because, of the later Air tank under the running board and tiny one on top, the tool box on top and to the right of the water tank instead of the left, the later placement of the air break pump near the pistons, the whistle is on the back of the dome instead of the top and the hand rails being wrong. number 14 was a older Design while 12 was newer design of theClass C shay that WV.P&PC° rebuilt into a Class D and it’s shown on the model. I don’t understand why they would have changed the number seems a bit silly to me but hey what do I know
Love the Shay .. am so glad MTH has (in some iteration) survived. Re your Paxlovid (yes, went to med .. Stanford was the worst, MCG Augusta was a close second) but take it short term only. The toxicity profile (neuro, kidney, liver) is pronounced. Plus, do we know if this is an NNRTI or an RTI disrupter. Longer term, you need to mitigate spike protein production (like pieces of glass in your circulatory system). This can be accomplished via Ivermectin 12/24 mg per day for 10 days, 600 mg Quercetin per day for 30 days, K2 (MK-7) 500 mcg daily and lichen based 5,000 Vitamin D3.
Historically we almost got an example of a 4 truck shay locomotive preserved I don’t remember which logging Railroad but sadly it wasn’t enough and the engine was sadly scrapped there are no examples of a four truck Shay that have been preserved to my knowledge
First of all what kind of car was you driving if I may ask, I like the long sunroof, that's pretty cool 😎😎 As far as the shay goes, that's pretty cool & a nice whistle to it as well, interesting consist, besides the 3 logs you had on there, what kind of cars were those?? Interesting caboose you had at the end, never seen one like that, also, I hope y'all feel better
Excellent presentation. Thank you. In addition to being a "geared" locomotive, it is also "all wheel drive" including the heavy tender full of fuel and water with a drive shaft connecting the two. That is a a lot of geared wheels with a lot of weight on them pulling things along. I have been to Cass many times and also done a longer excursion to the top there.
Hi Eric: I have several vision line steam engines that are fairly recent additions. What keys on the cab 2 do you hit to have the crew sounds at start up
Get well soon, man. Am I seeing your camera in the reflection off your sunglasses? I see a little black box on top of your dash, so I'm guessing that it's your camera. If I'm wrong, at least I made a good guess.
Video Notes:
1) This video has chapters for those who wish to skip around.
"Pass me the shay"....I pictured the hobby shop flinging the locomotive through an open window as you raced by the store. 😀
😁
I love how they even took the time to animate the valve gear
Hope ya feel better soon! That drone shot handoff was hilarious
What a great locomotive. The quality looks top notch. Great video as always Eric. I have learned so much from your videos throughout the years
The model looks really good and it is nice they made it
Although I do have the point out. With the sounds they seem to give it the chuff exhaust sounds that typical rod engines give off
Shay and other types of geared logging engines do not at all sound like a normal steam locomotive. Their sounds are very different both in terms of exhaust and a lot of times you usually hear the gears more than the exhaust
12:54-13:43, the best shots I've seen on your channel, and I've been watching for years! Please more shot like these!
Wow, thanks!
Love that Whistle it's 1 of the best I've heard sounds Erie I love it
The locomotive your show #5 is really from my neck of the woods. She's former Anaconda Copper Mining #5. A proud Montana engine!
lol UA-cam closed captioning thinking the exhaust chuffing is “laughter”
This model really blew my expectations away! When I got mine home I was more than happy with it. Surprisingly it can even run on O-48’s! Great video as always

Beautiful locomotive! Sorry about the flu! Thanks for the cab ride view of your amazing layout!
Get well Eric and Lisa 🙏🏻🙏🏻 awesome looking locomotive awesome sounds especially the smoking whistle 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
The hobo union approves of this video, and will be doing some christmas time train hopping, at a layout near you...❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks for the video Eric. I honestly look forward to the Christmas Bonanza during the holiday season!
The insight into your creative process was interesting. Happy New Year brother!!!

Man you are cranking out the vids! Hard work pays off!
Beautiful Shay. It reminds me of the one that Lionel came out with in the 90’s. That’ll be the next engine up on my list. Hope you both feel better. Have a very happy New year.🚂🎊🍾
Awesome video. One of the better ones. Love the Shay!
I love this 4-truck Shay!
Great looking engine, love the details 👍👍
I don’t know if it was because of my suggestion recently or because of the specific locomotive, but the uphill shots are awesome! Thanks for the content!
SWEET! Hope you both feel better soon!
I am glad to MTH is still in the picture. The engine looks great. Always like the Shay. Thanks as always in putting a nice informative video. JH
Really enjoyed the extended clips of the different parts of the layout and going up the grade
every time i see o scale prices i freak out but im also like "yes, i must pre-order the $700 rapido MLW M420 "
Lots of torque and no wheel slip on grades with heavy loads. Really nice loco.
Ahh yes the shay my favorite engine of all time great review Eric
I love Shay’s.
Amazing engines.
Great video. I was expecting Legacy Station to come out and put it in the cargo area for you.
Beautiful engine. I liked the little bit longer than normal camera on the train part of the video.
At first I dismissed the shay locomotive but when I looked and learned more about it I'm like oooh that's what makes it special. So cool
Great review Eric. I originally had a unlettered four truck and a three truck westside on order but I needed a new truck, so it was the truck over the engines
you went from 7 trucks to 1 truck
I have that same Shay but an earlier version. I enjoy it very much.
Ivan Muzinich
Love the camera view from the train!!
Excellent! Get better soon.
Wow! I've never seen a 4-truck Shay before. Fantastic!
Glad you liked it!
More SHAYS!!! SLOW AND BUSY. I love to look at them operate. Happy New Year
Eric, you, Lisa and your family get well and be safe and well. Prayers for you and for everyone!
Ditto, Eric!

Interesting
Beautiful Shay. Gotta laugh, MTH still using the same engineers. That crew talk is nostalgic now.
Yeah, classic MTH
Beautiful 🦫🇺🇸💰😎💪🥳🎄🔥🎶🎉👍👌
I agree that's a nice whistle. Love the 1860s hooters.
I ordered the Cass versions from Legacy thanks to you. I look forward to getting it!.
Great job 👏 ps hope you all git well soon.
Happy New Year. Both of you feel better. Mike
Hope you two feel better soon
First time seeing one, very cool.
I recently got 2 kittens over the summer. One is named Lucy, who absolutely loves watching my trains. Another named Shay, yes I named her after Shah type steamers, I wish she liked my trains like her sister Lucy does.😂
Awesome!
Aye I'm from West Virginia and it's so cool to see this locomotive in model form
Wow really nice
Very nice and cool loco
Nice vid Eric, hope Lisa and you are feeling better. Hogmanay (New Years eve) here in Scotland so a glass of whisky should sort you out. Happy and Prosperous New Year from Scotland. Bill
Happy New Year!
I picked up my WVP&P Co. 4 truck Shay and I give it 4 out of 5 stars! It’s very nice and seemingly well made!
Very nice engine, love all that drive gear
Thanks 👍
I'm in ahhhhhh this is Amazing

I have always loved the shay, but this one is great.
Great consist on this train.
Amazing 🚂😎👍
Indeed it is!
Beautiful engine
This is the only O-gauge model I want. Such a magnificent machine in the best livery!
I love the on board shots you should do a whole circuit of you layout with an on board camera 👍🏻👌
NICE !!!!!!
Gorgeous locomotive.
I agree!
Awesome! Would be nice if Lionel made a new legacy one thats capable of 0-31 curves. That would be great to see for everyone! If not possible for legacy I’d be happy with a Lionchief Plus 2.0 version.

Love the Shay. Wish I had a Lionel.
YES!!!!!!.
I was hoping that loco will come back.
By way i like that train store robbre
It got me laugh.

Maybe!

That looks like the same one i got at an auction 2yr ago, but only Qs1, looks great, but not all the bells n whistle like Proto3 has
I always wanted a Shay
I have one on my dining room table right now. Watch out for the front truck failure.
Get well soon Eric and Ms. Lisa.
I've met Bryan at legacy station before I came back to FL
Get well eric and lisa
WOW
Love shays. What was it's pulling power?
Next year have Lisa do 1 of your end of year videos, take the pressure off.
Lisa likes her gum! She looks so excited to be engaged!
Great video Eric. 👍🏼
Who makes the small four wheel cars following your Shay?
Those were all made by Lionel. They're called "disconnects"
Thank you Eric. Looking forward to your next video.
Historically we almost got an example of a 4 truck shay locomotive preserved I don’t remember which logging Railroad but sadly it wasn’t enough and the engine was sadly scrapped there are no examples of a four truck Shay that have been preserved to my knowledge

Interesting caboose you had at the end, never seen one like that, also, I hope y'all feel better
The car is a 2022 Mustang Mach-e. The little cars and caboose are made by Lionel. They’re called “disconnect” cars.
@@Ericstrains Ah ok cool, like I said, interesting consist 🤔🤔 Keep up the good work 😊😊
Looking at the design of it I’m sure the weight really helps with hauling. Only 2 driver sets?
Nice engine......Hope you and your wife feel better....
Thanks 👍

Jolly Ranchers are amazing for getting that paxlovid taste out of your mouth
Hi Eric: I have several vision line steam engines that are fairly recent additions. What keys on the cab 2 do you hit to have the crew sounds at start up
Get well soon, man. Am I seeing your camera in the reflection off your sunglasses? I see a little black box on top of your dash, so I'm guessing that it's your camera. If I'm wrong, at least I made a good guess.
The camera is sort of in the middle of the reflection of my glasses. At the very top is the rear view mirror
@@Ericstrains I was looking in the middle. I figured that was what I saw, but there are GPS systems about the same size.
How is legacy trains? Thought about going there.
Love that whistle, but am I off, or do the Lionel engines sounds like more like real trains and the MTH steam chuffs sound more like toys?
Is the model direct drive with the “gearing” just hooked in and moving for show or is the gearing part of the actual drive train? Get well soon!!
How do I enter the New Years Day Giveaway.
Really enjoy your channel.
Happy New Year!
Watch the live broadcast, that's how.
TY man how do you keep that layout clean
with vacuum cleaner
What car are you driving Eric I love the big sunroof
