An expensive development...

Both expensive and a sideways distraction, my Dad has just invested in a Bachmann Shay, found in a local model shop for just £525! With this the EJ&KLR now has three locomotives on it roster, although nothing suitable for this to pull (yet) and possibly a need for 2nd radius curves this could lead to even more outlay in 2011!

The Shay is exquisite mind, a truly wonderful model that really captures the weight and complexity of the gear drive, and the sounds not bad either. Apparently Dad is planning on lettering her up as No.3, EJ&K Railroad, with some more custom decals.
