Title: HO Shay - oil bunker parts
Post by: RioGrande481 on April 29, 2020, 07:50:47 PM
Hi,

I have a couple of Bachmann Shay locomotives I need to convert to oil fire. I have looked in the parts pages but do not see such parts. Is there a source for these parts?

1. Look at the one made for the Richmond and Baldwin 4-4-0
2.  Buy some sheet styrene
3.  Take measurements on the Shay
4.  Scratchbuild oil bunkers similar to the Richmond but to fit the shay.
5.  Filler hatch and rivet strips available from parts suppliers like Cal Scale. Check the Walthers catalog.
