Shay Geared Locomotives and Repair Parts Catalogue
ISBN: 9781935327929 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1877, Ephraim Shay came up with a radical design for a logging locomotive that featured a side-mounted set of cylinders.

Less than a decade later, the company was producing five different types of Shays, and shipping them throughout the world. The last Shay was built in 1945. Lima produced its last steam engine in 1949,...
