steve1 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I know this is pretty poor photo but does anyone have any idea what this oddity is? It almost looks like a toy. Â Â steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
77philg Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Looks like an 11tonne shay with a water tank  or a small climax?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hard to say, but looks to be Ephraim Shay's own line, Harbor Springs (aka "Hemlock Central"). Locomotive #3, with supplementary water tank, running in reverse.  http://hon3.tripod.com/shay-hc3.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Could be a Porter with a tender and water tank? Â Gordon A Bristol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks to all for your answers. I just didn't recognise it as a Shay. The tank fooled me.  Cheers  steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
