Nice photo David,
I had a hard time finding a good closeup photo of a Shay motor of the same style as the MDC motor. The photo you posted has the same style valve gear. Some had a different guide for the valve and the cylinder supports were different. I didn't realize there were so many different 3 cylinder shay motors until now. Thanks for posting it.
