Thanks for your watching and appreciation. This SHAY locomotive in Alishan is very special. It is one of the few SHAY steam locomotives that can operate in high mountains.
That's fun, I'm watching your video while drinking some Alishan wulong tea. Cool video by the way, the place is very beatifull, and I love Shay locomotive with their special transmition system.
Thanks to share this beauty, what a wonderful forest and what an amazing machine!! this Shay is an impressive piece of technology. Regards from Argentina.
Cool Video! 15:30 Sand box ran out of sand? or just need lot more sand? I wish I was there when they move SL-21 form the park back into the shop and then they put on a show with all the other locomotives. You can see the video on BK20185's channel.
Because this section is a curve, the sand device cannot be used effectively(On the curve, the sand pipe can't spray all the sand on the rail) I have seen other videos about SL21 carried. That process is quite not easy. I also recorded the SL-17 carried operation. I’ll share it on RU-vid.
Dear eye ball, perhaps you might give a little history, built when, why first needed, origin of the Shay loco.... etc. Here in Maine, we have 24” track from the 1850’s-> 1930’s
@@fpk1234 just after leaving my curiosity request, I did a Google look up, And was impressed at how much information had been submitted there. The Lima Locomotive Works - 28 ton class B Shay built for your gauge of which a total of 20 units were delivered in the 1920’s - 1930’s +/-
15:26 Eyes Ball a solution must be found so that people do not put sand on the rail on this section in curve, where the sand device cannot be used effectively(On the curve, the sand pipe can't spray all the sand on the rail)
The Shay type locomotive has a geared drive. The pistons are mounted vertically on one side of the boiler. They drive a crankshaft connected to a jointed shaft which runs the length of the loco. This in turn drives bevel gears which are mounted on each axle. The wheels are in mounted in pivoted trucks (bogies) like a diesel loco. This gives a low geared and flexible engine suitable for sharp curves and delivery of power at slow speed. Shay's are a unique American design that have been around since the late 1800s.
