The Shay Fixer ~ For Sale

Why buy from "The Shay Fixer"?

Simple...

I guarantee every engine will run as I say it will...which too often, is not the case when you buy from an online auction, retailer or third party who is selling their Shay "AS IS"... I myself would rather pay for quality than pay for disappointment any day of the week... ALL of my engines have gone through a rigorous "Tune-Up" and have been broken in for about an hour in each direction on a "Testtraxx" so that when you receive your new engine you can take it right out of the box and begin running her on your layout...or perhaps...just set her down to look at...

1 RARE MINT	Michael Koch's, "Steam and Thunder in the Timber...Saga of the Forest Railroads". This is a signed collectors copy, by the premier logging railroad writer himself, published in 1979 by The World Press Incorporated, of Denver, Colorado. The book is in mint shape...binding, dust cover and every page  inside. There is a plastic dust cover, in excellent shape, protecting the book, yet not attached to the book thus preserving it's value. The outer cover picture is taken with this dust jacket on. This book recounts the fascinating and colorful history of a century and a half of logging railroads in the area that stretches from the Kennebec River in Maine to Puget Sound on the West coast and from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska and Canada. Here in one oversize, profusely illustrated volume is the whole panoramic sweep of the heritors of Paul Bunyan, who came, who saw and who conquered the vast forests of the North American Continent. If you are into logging, logging history, logging railroads, Shays, Climaxes, Heislers and vast arrays of one of a kind pictures, ideas, creative insights and more AND had one reference book...this would be the one! Unfortunately for all of us, when Michael Koch died, his will was very specific that this book would never be reprinted, revised or updated. The copies which exist presently are all there ever will be. This copy is like new...this is your chance to own the one book you need to have in your modeling library! The best reason of course to have a book such as this...it makes for some very interesting reading. YOU KNOW you really want some very interesting reading...	$325 $20 shipping and handling... insurance is  required and additional

1 RARE	Brass Joe Works/Flying Zoo 18 ton HO scale HOn3 Climax manufactured by Sugiyama. This Climax is one of those CLASSICS people still talk about! She has gone through a rigorous "Tune-Up". This engine has been ultrasonically cleaned, lubed with just the right amount of "Nano-Oil" in all gear/bearing surfaces and has had "Neolube" and "Nano-Oil" applied to trucks and running gear. She has been run on a "Testtraxx" for about an hour in each direction to break her in. This also lets the lubricants work their way into all spaces. The motor and gearing have been adjusted to run at their optimum performance level. This little Climax comes in a box which is in very good condition. There is one corner side on the box which is torn...to the right of the label. The original foam also is in decent shape as the photo will attest. This is an exceptionally well running engine, mint... that I pass on to you with a minimum operating radius of about 11". You can take this Climax right out of the box and begin running her on your layout...or perhaps...just set her down to look at.
