Geoffbuilt Shay 0141999

First time posting… and I am quite excited!

I have been successful in negotiating terms to repatriate a Geoffbuilt Shay back to its country of origin! Within the coming weeks, I anticipate I will get an abrupt crash course in live steam!

Looking forward to the adventure, and hearing the hiss of steam here in the Yukon!

Welcome to the site! Can’t wait to see pictures of your new loco.

This is from the seller… I will be excited to post when it arrives!

Now I have to focus on getting track laid… but up here… I have snow up to my gate latch… and likely will continue to have it up there till the end of April. Then have to co tend with the frost likely until mid May!

I suppose that is the fun of building North of 60!

Might be a good idea to build a track on stilts or a raised bed?

Welcome and good luck with your new endeavor.

It will be mostly raised. I have 25 trestle bents ready to go (still need a few more). Once it is as the back of the yard it will be elevated!
