Wheeltapper 2006


Mick Moignard's On30 2 Truck Shay #11 is a reworked Bachmann, which has been detailed to represent a loco that has had a long and useful life and which has had many medications over the years. It's now oil fired, though it still carriers an ashpan. New details include the chimney made from a brass casting and a mesh arrestor, airpump, tank and piping, water siphon tube under the left side footplate, extra cab interior details, plated over cab sides, new steps an many other details including the characteristic grease can be found on the footplate for the driveshaft gears. Details are a mixture of scratch and commercial items. The loco was completely dismantled and reassembled more carefully that the factory job. Painted and heavily weathered. It has DCC, lights and synchronised sound using a Soundtrax decoder.
