Hi all
If you are interested in watching a shay slowly be brought back to life, follow my link below. The link is chapter 1, to the right you will see a chapter list, I just started chapter 2.

I am not involved in the refurb but this engine has family ties to me, plus I grew up about 300 yards from where this is taking place. The volunteers the are performing this found my blog and have been providing weekly updates.

Hope you enjoy, and there are many more updates to come.

Dean, that is interesting.
Didn't read all of it, but looked through all the pictures.
Quite a bit of work involved in this project.
Thanks for the updates.

It's impressive. A really other sort of job : it may be difficult to fine tune our little Shays, but at least we can hold their parts easily...
