THE NEW MTH SHAY IS AMAZING! 

The dummy knuckle coupler was used due to the space in the boards were used up when they used the whistle steam, thus the spot for the front electro coupler was used. If you want a working front coupler, you need to mod the board and give up the whistle steam. It is a disapontment. MTH should of spent a little R&D to make a new board with new added features. This is the same on the erie angus. And im sure it will happen to any front working coupler steam loco.

Beautiful Matt. All Good.! I'm old and have never got into them LOL.! I do like looking at them and how interesting they are.! Great Review.! 👍😊

I love it!

Them there Shay Locomotives and Climax Locomotives are my favorite. I'll never be able to afford one because the bank won't let me take a second mortgage out on my cardboard house 😂

So much detail

That is an amazing locomotive. Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular 😊

Incredible engine.

The whistle is crisp

They had a 4 truck shay years ago, I seen one of them. This new release has all of the bells and whistles with DCS yea the whistle steam is neat.

on the back of the tender ? those are 2 aux sand boxes

Any curve testing to see how tight this can run?

beautiful model , but the 2 truck shay was far more common

they used a rod engine chuff rate the sha has 3 cylinders it chuffs 123,123, 123, not 1,2,3,4.

Beautiful model. But your narration is, well, "boring". You keep repeating the phrase "very nice" and of course the word "boring". You should write your narration and organize your thought to avoid repetition, etc.
