Hello,
the big live steam indoor meet in Karlsruhe (Germany) is over and the Shay was in service for 3 and a half days.
And that without mayjor problems. Just a bolt on the universal joints got lost, but was found and installed again.
I made a short list of issues that I've to fix within the next months. I need a floor around the boiler, a new coal shovel and a lever to handle the air slap on the ash pan.
Here're some photos from the event for you, showing the Shay in action, together with the Forney #2. Early sunday, I had to take the Forney out of service due to problems with the safety valves. I guess I've to maintain the whole engine this year to fix a long list of issues...
Bye, Gerd
