The railway here is 36" (3') gauge.
Today (June 29, 2024) is, as far as I know, the second public run of this Shay after a lengthy rebuild process started about eight years ago. Here's a video of the beautifully restored locomotive leaving North Cowichan station. A little wheelslip action!

The degree of slip is so small, but so quick. I really think this demonstrates very well the track adhesion this particular locomotive possesses, even in wet conditions!
Thats an interesting cylinder arrangement.
Every time I watch a Shay start moving, I expect a Navy oilers mate to swing in upside down doing his job.
Mason, thanks for this. This looks to be an afternoon run (based on the people that I saw). A fun day today to see the Shay in action, despite the rain.
...and the rain gives the opportunity to see and hear what a wheel-slip is like for this locomotive.
Cheers !
Hi Mike, this was indeed an afternoon run, recorded around 3:20. It was an amazing day! I didn't mind the rain, honestly, everything else more than made up for it. They did an amazing job restoring the locomotive, it's nothing short of incredible. Love to see it!
@@thundervallie - I wonder if I saw you there today. I try to say "Hello" to everyone that I pass when I'm walking around. I was wearing a bright orange high-viz shirt, and was packing a couple of tripods.
@@LowLightMike I think we passed by at one point then. I probably didn't say much, if anything, though, my social anxiety is pretty bad
@@thundervallie That's ok. I'm glad that you were out doing something that you love to do. I appreciate your video work :)
Just came across this channel by accident. Congrats on the rebuild. A monumental task these days, (and expensive),. I'd wanted to visit there for a long time but it's a long trip from here, (Monterey bay),. Maybe some day. The roaring camp r.r. in the santa cruz mountains has the infamous 8% grade section, ( seems way steeper to me and a bit spooky ),. I don't recall slippage though sand is used. I would imagine going both ways. But it does get wet up there in the redwoods. Even from the thick fog. Congrats again.
Great video!!! Like me!!!
Never seen a shay slip before.
Neat Mason.
