Big six shay MTH western Maryland shay

[@demomike2594]

Congratulations on your new Western Maryland Shay! I got into the hobby in 2017 and my layout is modeled after the Cass Scenic Railroad. I in the winter of 2018 I got an MTH PS2 Western Maryland Shay which was beautiful but was not meant to be as it fried right away out of the box. The dealer made it right and substituted a 2017 Lionel Legacy Shay for me. I enjoyed the Lionel Shay, but really missed the MTH one. Seeing this recent release, it is basically the same as the 2006 version, but with all of the great upgrades. I am going to try and see if I can unload my Lionel Legacy Shay and pick up the MTH WM Shay. Thank you for the video.

Awh man the important thing to do with ps2 is a bcr but glad he made it right for you i do know train world has more in stock

[@TheTrainboard]

Congrats Matt! Such a nice locomotive! I've always liked the PS2 version with the red top on the tender, as you said. The only thing is, we wish this one had a big smoke stack. - Ryan

[@Attictrains]

Me too but number 6 didn’t come factory with a diamond stack unfortunately

[@hmsjr0154]

The number 6 never hauled logs. The WM used it to haul coal out of vindex. The only reason the WM had Shay locomotives was to haul coal out of wva.

I'm dissapointed that the front doesn't have a Proto-Coupler, but overall this is a great model.

[@Attictrains]

I was disappointed to they went a little cheap on that and wanted more $ then the last shay model but its still a very nice model i do enjoy having it in the collection!

Outstanding video that locomotive is so beautiful and awesome

[@huntercoleman460]

Incredibly detailed shay friend.

[@Lazeritaly_56.]

[@henryszubielski8601]

Very nice addition to you collection. Happy Holidays and enjoy!

[@Attictrains]

Thank you and happy holidays to you as well!

Nice looking shay, I got a w.v.p&p.shay a couple of yrs ago. Mine is a QS1 I think, but still has great detail. It's dangerous going to frequently to the Toy Exchange in Mt Airy as it has a way of thinning the wallet

[@Attictrains]

Yes is its the wvp&p they haven’t made that locomotive till this run that this one was in released this month since 1999

[@realtoytrains]

Cool video congrats on the shay.

[@Railroader299]

Nice I’ve been in cab of it before

[@Attictrains]

Awesome idea love to get in the cab of the big 6 ive only ever been in one shay before for a cab ride

[@WildGames69-765]

how expesive was it

[@Attictrains]

Very expensive

[@jebbthetrainkid1281]

Very Nice. Waiting on my CASS 3 Truck Shay. This will give us 8 Shays. You need to get you some CASS Excursion Cars. My good buddy Jorge is making them and he is making the CASS Station also. Check him out at FLrailroaddog on his KZbin Channel.

[@Attictrains]

Awesome i will have to check him out thank you and i hope you enjoy yours!

[@jebbthetrainkid1281]

@Attictrains You're Welcome. He has the CASS Cars already done and the CASS Station should be done probably sometime next. He also done the Handicap Car which is neat.

[@robertblomberg5863]

STILL horrible sound! Come on-people recorded our Shays back in the ‘90s, and they still make it sound like a rod engine?! Unless one can adjust the chuff rate somehow, a waste of money.

[@Attictrains]

You can in fact do that i did it to my 4 truck shay and it sounds right now

[@robertblomberg5863]

@@Attictrains OH, that’s good to know. It should sound like a rocket at 15 mph!

[@MMID303]

​@robertblomberg5863 I was think the same thing. Thankfully with the DCS remote you can change how many chuffs per revolution it makes.

[@Attictrains]

@@MMID303 correct you can change it
