Hi,
I am trying to find out the wheel size and wheel base for the HO 3-Truck Shay.

I am also looking for the same information about the On30 Shay.

Thanks you

A book, called "The Shay" by (I believe) Kalmbach productions. Check their library, go t modelrailroader.com

Correction: it was in conjunction with the Roundhouse (MDC) production of their shay locomotive. This was introduced to the public around 1985, so I would assume it has been out of print for quite some time It was as pretty informative book, but it was, I believe, put out by MDC. You might be able to track it down via Horizon, as they presently own HDC/Roundhouse.
