Here's Shay #4 with the new trucks. This has been our main project for 2003. The
first test steam up was in December. The trucks work well, but we uncovered a few
other problems that will need work. I hope to be able to run it for the winter
steam season, then build a new cab and give it a paint job over the summer. |

| Wheels and axles |
Some of the parts for the frame. Boy, there
sure are a lot of parts. |

 |
| This is the Boston gear set after the
modifications. We had to remove about half of the hub on the pinion. The
big gear had to have an adapter to bolt to the wheel and the hub bored
larger to make room for the journals |
Well, do they look like this?
