Named for it's designer Ephriam Shay, this type of locomotive features logitudinal shaft drive which powers axles through bevel gears. This arrangement gives high torque and relatively low speeds and is not tough on rails as the big drive wheels of a more conventional locomotive. Quite a few Shays have survived and are in operating condition around the USA.

We would like to welcome our newest store to the site, Stillwater Porcelain. Pat Pyott has been producing these fantastic porcelain relief tiles and dishes for many years and I first noticed these at the many local restaurants that use her plates and dishes. I was so taken by the designs and quality that I had to find out for myself who was making these and we are really excited to offer her products here at Shop Local Products. Check out this exciting line of porcelain ware.
