Bachmann Shay Locomotives

I have collected a few Bachmann shays over the years and a few climaxes (old and new version) and a heisler.
Just love them. They are even more detailed than my Accucraft live steam versions.
Yes they do need careful handling because of the great detail, but generally they are pretty robust.
I have ruined a crown gear when a hard stalk of a leaf got stuck in the outside gear mechanism, but other than that, good lubrication will keep them running for years.

The 3 truck version with the Soundtraxx Tsunami DCC sound does not like voltage over 19v. But as that amount of voltage is perfectly fine for running at 'normal' shay speeds and hauling 8 cards and a caboose up my 10% gradient it is okay for me.
It is a good product and to help to avert the 'umbilical' connector to rear truck problem, hot glue around where the cable goes into the plug.
This not only gives it a bit more 'toughness' but also gives you a bit more to help grip onto when pulling the plug out.
