Nachoman's EOY 2010 challenge

[nachoman]

I've managed to squeeze a little more work in despite being busy with other things right now. First, I realized I had installed my couplers too low . Fixing them meant removing the scratch built coupler boxes front he end beams, carving a deeper notch into the end beams, and re-installing. All in all, fixing the couplers was a relatively painless task. I also added some piping details for the injector on the fireman's side, and some details to the cylinders on the engineers side. I'd like to have more detailed to cylinders, and while it is within the realm of my capability it is NOT in the realm of my patience. It's one of those "good enough" compromises. I've been looking at the photos on this site as inspiration:

It's a 3-truck shay, but it is a 3-foot gauge shay, and has the general look I like.
