	Ephraim Shay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ephraim Shay (July 17, 1839 – April 19, 1916) designed the first Shay locomotive and patented the type.
		Lima built 4 Shay locomotives in 1881, and were up to 37 Shays in 1883.
		Ephraim Shay's Hemlock Central in front of his hexagon house.

	Shay locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vast majority of Shays were built by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio, although Shay patent locomotives were also built by the Michigan Iron Works in Cadillac, Michigan in small numbers.
		Shay locomotives were built in all sizes, from small ten-ton locomotives to almost 200 ton giants.
		This last built Shay still exists on the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park; one of the largest Shays built, this 162 ton Class C monster had only five years of service when it was retired and placed in the Baltimore and Ohio Museum.

	MR. SHAY'S POWERFUL LITTLE ENGINE
		Ephraim Shay opearated a lumbering business near Harbor Springs, Michigan back in the days when the White Pine of the lower Peninsula was in great demand.
		Shay discovered that ordinary steam locomotives, due to their rigid frames, were not well adapted to bouncing along hastily constructed roadbeds.
		Another unusual feature of Shay Locomotives was that their boilers were not mounted in the center of the locomotive body, but were situated some 15" to the left of center in order to make room for the vertical cylinders ahead of the cab.

	[No title]
		Ephraim Shay was born on July 17, 1839 in Sherman Township, Huron County, Ohio.
		Shay's introduction of a locomotive into logging with tramways was a turning point in the logging industry, however it was not Ephraim Shay that would push for this revolutionary concept for his fellow loggers.
		Ephraim Shay must have had more direct input than is reported by Lima's records for it is Lima that paid Ephraim royalty payments on the first 400 shays, something they would never have agreed to were John Carnes more deserving the credit.

		The Shay locomotive is immediately distinctive from standard steam locomotives with its unique appearance of powered trucks, offset boiler, and vertically mounted steam cylinders.
		All of the Shay's wheels are driven through an arrangement of beveled gears and driveshafts, connected to a bank of vertical steam cylinders.
		Ephraim Shay, owner of a saw mill in Haring, Michigan, invented the Shay locomotive in 1873 to haul logs on a tramway at his mill.

	Shay Logging Locomotives - Intro
		The #12 is a Shay, a geared locomotive that is the “off-road vehicle” of railroading.
		Shay also found that a conventional locomotive tore up his track, even though it was lighter than his heavy log cars.
		The Shay locomotive is based on four-wheel articulated trucks, similar to those on a freight car, that are connected to each other via gears and a flexible driveshaft.

		The locomotive was invented by Ephraim Shay, a Michigan lumberman, and was designed for logging railroads where the tracks are often temporary and always in bad condition, with sharp curves and steep grades.
		Shay locomotives are either two-truck with eight wheels (like the one we use) or three-truck with twelve wheels.
		Shay locomotives are known as "gear locomotives" because of the gear drive to the wheels.

		Ephraim Shay (1839-1916) was a logger himself, and like those who try to build a better mousetrap, he decided to build a better logging locomotive.
		On most Shays, the boiler is offset to the left of center, to balance the cylinders on the right.
		Shays produced a distinctive sound; due to the rapid firing of the cylinders it seemed they were going about 6o mph, whereas they were actually chuffing along at 12 mph!

	The Shay Locomotive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Ephraim Shay, a Michigan lumberman who placed the order for his locomotive, invented it in 1878, to be built by the Lima Machine Works.
		The Shay Locomotive was different from other locomotives because instead of being driven by rods it had gears, which allowed for a much more powerful pulling by the locomotive.
		The Shay also had exposed cylinders and gears, which made for relatively easy repairs because everything was accessible.

	Accucraft Shay review
		The Shay locomotive was invented by Ephraim Shay and the first engine produced that was recognizably a Shay emerged from the Lima Machine Works (later the Lima Locomotive Works) in 1880.
		Production of Shays ceased in 1945, after approximately 2,700 of them had been built to all gauges and sizes (including a couple of left-handers, or backwards Shays, popularly called Yahs).
		Accucraft’s Shay is a direct descendant of the company’s first economical live steamer, the Ruby.

		The railroad was built by the inventor of the Shay geared locomotive, Ephraim Shay.

		Ephraim Shay was able to finance the railroad without debt, largely because of his royalties and license fees from Lima's manufacturing of the Shay locomotive design/patent.

		Ephraim Shay, a Michigan sawmill operator, is generally credited with the invention of the first geared locomotive in America.
		Shay determined that a small locomotive with power conveyed to the trucks rather than the drivers would achieve a slow but powerful engine, capable of climbing steep grades and traversing rails laid over rough, uneven terrain.
		Shay's invention was built by using a flat car placed on ordinary trucks.

	MTH Electric Trains
		When Civil War veteran and ex-schoolteacher Ephraim Shay opened a sawmill in Michigan in the 1870's, logging was largely a winter operation.
		Shay reasoned - correctly, as it turned out - that laying rails through the woods would allow him to supply his mill year-round and undercut his competitors' lumber prices.
		Shay experimented with a small steam engine but the pounding of the side rods was too much for his light temporary track.

		In 1981 #11 was purchased by the MRSR and brought to Mineral, WA where she was returned to operation in the early 1990's.

		The Museum's Shay locomotive is an excellent example of how function, materials and environment combined to influence the final form of a machine.
		The Shay was a commercially successful geared steam locomotive, initially conceived by an American lumber merchant, Ephraim Shay.
		In 1880, Shay arranged for the Lima Machine Works (which later became Lima Locomotive Works, Inc.) of Lima, Ohio, to work on a prototype locomotive to replace the teams of horses and oxen he was using to move logs to his mills.

	Lima Locomotive Works
		The first Shay locomotive was built in 1878 and was such a success that many people in the lumber industry wanted one.
		To accommodate the new demand for the locomotive Shay licensed the right to build his locomotive to the Lima Machine Works, which expanded and began to ship Shay locomotives to lumberman across the frontier.
		In the end the Shay could not be resurrected and was considered obsolete by 1930.

	Adventures in West Virginia
		That changed when a Michigan lumberman named Ephraim Shay developed an engine with an offset boiler and three pistons which drove a geared driveshaft that transferred power to each wheel of the engine and tender.
		This "articulated" design meant that the Shay could negotiate the steep curves of the logging roads that were previously used as animal-powered tramways.
		With all that traction, the Shays could be built without any dead weight or ballast, meaning that often weighed less than half as much as a conventional engine.

	Model Railroader April 2005 Shay Review
		An N scale model of a two-truck Shay, highlighted by a remarkable representation of the Shay’s side-mounted drive train that churns furiously as the locomotive moves down the track, has been released by Atlas.
		As with a real Shay, this model’s drive train is an intricate assembly of rotating universal joints and shafts with sleeve couplings that slide in and out as the trucks swivel to follow track curves.
		Shays are the all-terrain vehicles of steam railroading, handling brutal grades, hairpin curves, and rough track with ease.

		With the growth of the historical society in Harbor Springs and plans for a museum and park named after Shay in progress, transfer to the boat’s place of origin became viable.
		Shay settled in Harbor Springs in 1888, after inventing and patenting a steam locomotive designed specifically for the logging industry.
		He tinkered with the boat to address seaworthiness and stability problems over several years, but eventually the engine was stripped from the boat and used as the heating plant in the house of Shay’s son.
