Gerd, thanks for these overview of your Shay. An absolutely fine work!
I'm not sure if you know that I worked as an steam loco repair man (here in Germny I learned this as a profession with certification) and so I know all these parts of a steam loco and I know the construction of steam engines with their valve gears - here a typical Allan gear with two excentrics für each cylinder. This all are many movable parts and these need many work and high precision while manufacturing - all in all a fine job with my highest compliments!
Wish you success and a good end!
