If you are interested in watching a shay slowly be brought back to life, follow my link(s) below. The link is chapter 1, to the right you will see a chapter list, 1-3 at the moment
I am not involved in the refurb but this engine has family ties to me, plus I grew up about 300 yards from where this is taking place. The volunteers the are performing this found my blog and have been providing weekly updates.
Hope you enjoy, and there are many more updates to come.
