(2) Atlas Two-Truck Shay’s for my logging layout

SUGAR PINE LUMBER CO. 2-TRUCK SHAY STEAM LOCOMOTIVE 

ATLAS #41625 N-SCALE

I purchased two of these n scale shay steam engines with Sugar Pine Lumber Company lettering. Each are labeled, locomotive #10 for prototypes on my logging layout. After the Pickering Lumber Co./Westside Logging Railroad operation ended, engine #10 was sold to the Yosemite-Sugar Pine Railroad of Fishcamp, California in 1967.

eBAY

These engines are occasionally found on eBay and are difficult to come-by.

The detail and running gear on these engines is incredible! I also plan the install DCC sound decoders to add realism to the scene.
