Help on Loco Info

[SteamGene]

The C&O had, I believe, two geared locos.  I don't know if they were standard or narrow.  Note the difference between "normal" and "all."

Thanks everyone for all the info. The web sites are just what I need. I have enough room on my current beach work to work in some track work for the Shay.  Once again Thanks

IIRC, the C&O Shays were big four-truckers (standard gauge).  I think one of them got sold to the N&W.  Biggest Shay ever was West Virginia Pulp & Paper No. 12.  It was built as a 150-C (three-truck) engine, but was rebuilt by the company shops into a four-trucker tipping the scales at over 200 tons.  It ran out of Cass, WV, and survived into Mower Lumber ownership but I believe was scrapped in the early 1950's.  WM 6 was the largest (and last) Shay built by Lima, weighing in at about 165 tons.  I once chartered her on a photo freight on the old C&O line from Cass to Durbin, before the great flood took the track out.
