Most famous of all logging locomotives was the Shay. Designed and developed by Ephraim Shay, this engine was well known for its ruggedness and dependability. Although slightly speed-limited, riding on trucks gave the Shay the ability to operate on steep grades and uneven tracks, conditions common to logging railroads.

Our powerful, articulating Shays are an authentic working 1 1/2" scale model of the world famous Shays that helped build the logging empires in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest.

Truly amazing craftsmanship, and fabulous attention to detail are attributes of our finest engine!
