Possibly the only one in the UK, this one was bought  twenty years ago and has been kept, unsteamed, on display in the house ever  since.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Like everything they produce, the OS Shay is highly detailed and beautifully  engineered - pretty much what you'd expect from a company who've produced world  class model aeroplane engines for decades. It's a three cylinder, four truck  design - the ride-on tender has a seat and detachable footrests, all wheels are  powered, with a supremely elegant system of unhitching, you simply drop the  couple pin out, slide the drive shaft from its socket and the tender can be  lifted away.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Silver soldered copper boiler, 90psi working pressure, twin pop type safety  valves, feed by double acting axle pump with auxiliary hand pump - the engine is  also fitted with the optional steam pump. Chime whistle mounted underneath cab.  Three gunmetal cylinders with piston valves actuated by Stephenson's gear with  pole reverser in the cab, mechanical lubricator. The main wheels run on needle  roller bearings, the engine is fitted with steam and hand-operated mechanical  brakes. Optional 3 volt turbo generator mounted on top of the boiler.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   We haven't run this one, however there are \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Vtznkz7xfCs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eseveral  videos on YouTube including this one\u003c\/a\u003e which is interesting and show an OS  Shay running with some very nice rolling stock on a scenic railway. Haven't got  a clue what the chap's talking about, but I thank him for making an interesting  film!  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Complete with original manufacturer's documentation.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Overall length 65 inches  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Weight\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 150 pounds\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 71 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009837257045,"sku":"7077","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7077-1.webp?v=1779899342","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-os-four-truck-shay-stock-code-7077","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
