Nice shay, how many loaded cars can you pull with it  :) :)

Thanks Gary. The two truck Shay will pull 6-7 cars up the long 1 1/2% grade in the Monterrey Mountains east of San Marino.

These are two of the inner mainline tracks in the turnaround area east of San Marino. Large radii area a must on the "new" JJJ&E. This is a prerequisite for large steam locomotives to run flawlessly on the layout. A closer view of Milwaukee Hiawatha #1 with a direct view of Rosco's Engine Repair Shop. The Locomotive Maintenance Building is directly behind Rosco's Engine Repair.

A closer look at the sweeping radii in the turnaround area east of San Marino. A closer side view of  Roscoe's Engine Repair. Milwaukee Hiawatha #1 is making its way around the turnaround area on the lower level mainline track. The San Marino Switching Yard is in the background.

[bThe sweeping radii in the turnaround area east of San Marino. 23-24 inch radii in N Scale are easy with the help of easements. A closer view of the back of the Plumbing & Heating Supply Building in the turnaround area.  The Locomotive Miantenance Building is behind the Plumbing & Heating Supply Building.

A panoramic view of the front part of the turnaround area.   The building adjacent  to  Roscoe's  Engine is a Plumbing Parts & Service area. The three mainline track tracks in the foreground sweep  around the  turnaround area using 23-24 inch radii in N Scale.

Bob,

The grass needs cutting in the above photo. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  Don't you have an "N" scale mower?

That's buffalo grass Tom. Out in the western United States, a small herd of buffalo will do just fine. Who needs a mower. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

A closeup  view of a Key Imports PRR #6750 M1A making the long climb up the 1 1/2% grade east of San Marino in the Monterrey Mountains. I installed  a Lenz mini silver decoder for motor function and a Soundtraxx heavy steam decoder for sound functions, with a Zimo cube speaker in the tender.

The Pennsy sure had some fine looking locos. The M1A Mountain was one I really like. I have an L1 and I1 in HO. The I1, 2-10-0 has WOW sound installed.

Here is a picture of my L1. I painted this one 35 years ago.

A closeup view of the Key Imports PRR M1A #6750 (4-8-2)on the engineers side of the locomotive. This is a very powerful steamer. The Belpaire firebox is distinctive of PRR steam locomotives. Yes, that is buffalo grass. :)

I know you were kidding me Tom. You should try it sometime. Then you wouldn't have to spend so much time cutting your lawn. :) :) :) ;) ;D ;D

An old color photo of a brass Key Imports PRR M1A #6750 is on the mainline east of San Marino entering the right turnaround area of the JJJ&E. I installed a Lenz silver mini decoder and a Soundtraxx Micro Tsunami decoder and a Zimo cube speaker in the tender.

An old sepia photo of a ATSF 4-8-4 #3782 climbing the 1 1/2% grade on the mainline east of San Marino. The Monterrey Mountains are in the background. This locomotive has a very rigid wheel base and should only be used on N Scale layouts with radii greater than 19 inches.
