The Shay, developed by Ephraim
Shay, is a work-horse engine - developed for logging but also used
in mining, and recently for scenic excursions. The Shay is noted by
its vertical cylinders, on the right side, which drive a crank-shaft
connected to drive shafts that drive bevel gears at each of the loco's
axles. |

As shown

comes plugged into the socket. |

To install a decoder
with a very short NMRA plug harness, it needs to be plugged in with
the wires going toward the rear (the harness has to be made to go
this way) then doubled over so the connector end of the decoder is
right above the socket, as shown in Photo 4. Decoders longer than
about 1.125" will not fit. |

| Decoder Selection |
|
Any HO-Scale Direct/Integral
Plug decoder, and most decoders with an NMRA plug on a very short
(PB) harness will work - longer harnesses will work too, but it just
creates a lot of excess wire to wad up. We stock dozens of decoders
that fit this criteria. Below is a list of those that make the most
sense. Others will work. If you choose another that is much longer
than 1.25", it will need a longer harness so you can better center
the decoder in the tender. Digitrax's DN121IP will NOT work because
the pins are at the end of the decoder and there's not enough room
for the decoder to stick out the back in the orientation it would
have to be plugged in. Refer to the Decoder
section for more about these and other decoders that may work. |
