Does the Forney run faster than the Shay. Just as fast as 2-6-0 ???
I know the Shay is built to run slow with alot of torque.

Very likely, the top speed of a pacific coast shay was approx 10 miles per hour, the T-boiler would definitely be slower then that. The SRRL Forneys were recorded at 50/60mph.

Sorry i was referring to the Bachamnn model.

I don't have a shay, I do have a forney and a 2-6-0 I've never clocked either but the 2-6-0 is faster then the forney for sure.

Yes, it will run faster. I had the Climax for a while and it was much slower, I presume the final gear ratio of the Shay is about the same.
