Castings
These are Locogear castings for two Western Maryland Shay #6 locomotives: (Click on the images for a larger view.)
The above castings were shipped in flat rate boxes by Locogear except for the truck sideframes and the engine bottom bracket which were shipped UPS. Castings were well packed and were received without damage. The postal delivery lady was not happy however!
The castings below (by Locogear) were purchased off eBay. They were intended for a KCS900 Shay but the seller had an extra set of truck castings so I bought them with the idea of building the GCE#12 four truck Shay. The large blocks on the left are for the slide valve cylinders. There is a smokestack, smokebox some brass/bronze pieces and axle/driveshaft stock. Not all of the castings are shown, there are four complete sets of truck castings including the wheels. This was a very good purchase.
