That's fun, I'm watching your video while drinking some Alishan wulong tea. Cool video by the way, the place is very beatifull, and I love Shay locomotive with their special transmition system.

[@fpk1234]

Thanks for your watching and appreciation 😊😊😊 This SHAY locomotive is one of the few locomotives that can operate in high mountains

Dear eye ball, perhaps you might give a little history, built when, why first needed, origin of the Shay loco.... etc. Here in Maine, we have 24” track from the 1850’s-> 1930’s

[@fpk1234]

Thank you for your suggestion. I will add information about this locomotive in the description field of the video later.

[@johneastman1905]

@@fpk1234 just after leaving my curiosity request, I did a Google look up, And was impressed at how much information had been submitted there. The Lima Locomotive Works - 28 ton class B Shay built for your gauge of which a total of 20 units were delivered in the 1920’s - 1930’s +/-

[@geoffreykail9129]

Didn't see a LIMA builders tag on the side of the smoke box. Why no passengers?

[@fpk1234]

The LIMA tag has been lost for a long time. Because this train is a trial run, there are no passengers on the train.

15:26 Eyes Ball a solution must be found so that people do not put sand on the rail on this section in curve, where the sand device cannot be used effectively(On the curve, the sand pipe can't spray all the sand on the rail)

[@fpk1234]

This is a difficult problem. 😞

[@king0943]

聽過以前的林務局的司機說，會推車廂讓無動力車廂先跑過就不會打滑，但這種觀光列車剛好柴電車在前，機關車在後，出力的是柴電車就沒車先壓過鐵軌，我想是這樣吧！

[@fpk1234]

上山列車，機關車固定在後方用推的

[@TrainsOnGoPro]

Cool Video! 15:30 Sand box ran out of sand? or just need lot more sand? I wish I was there when they move SL-21 form the park back into the shop and then they put on a show with all the other locomotives. You can see the video on BK20185's channel.

[@fpk1234]

Because this section is a curve, the sand device cannot be used effectively(On the curve, the sand pipe can't spray all the sand on the rail) I have seen other videos about SL21 carried. That process is quite not easy. I also recorded the SL-17 carried operation. I’ll share it on KZbin.

[@emeraldzebra9360]

Why do they do the double blast of steam every few seconds. I know how steamers work generally but never got the "breathing" effect

[@fpk1234]

Entschuldigung, mir ist diese Frage nicht ganz klar. Ich kann Ihnen nicht antworten

[@arch9enius]

A pump mounted on the side of the boiler is charging the air brakes.

この台湾らしいロケーションがいいですね。シェイ式も最近復活した仲間もいるようで 今後も阿里山観光の発展に期待するでしょう。

[@fpk1234]

naromodel maker 最近、阿里山森林鉄道はいくつかのSHAY機関車を修理する計画を立てており、将来一緒に見ることを楽しみにしています

[@nrmw9600]

Eyes Ball さん 日本では模型やライブスチームなど自分で作る方もいて、台湾やアメリカぐらいしか走ってない貴重な機関車です。100歳になってもなお走り続けたり残ったりする仲間も多いようで、すごいと思います。

[@fpk1234]

鉄道模型を作成するには、忍耐が必要です。日本には非常に強力な鉄道模型の達人が多く、彼らの作品は素晴らしい。

[@jeyaramjeyaraj8266]

It appears that there are no passengers in this train. Why?

[@fpk1234]

This train is the test running, so no passengers on it.

Yes SHAY is a very special steam locomotive

[@robertrobertn9629]

The Shay was the Rolls-Royce of logging locomotives for grades up to 15%. All wheels were powered.

[@zafar78600]

Where are the wheels and pistons, con rods etc?

[@fpk1234]

They are only designed on the one side. At first in this video, you can see them.

[@boxcarjim1]

The Shay type locomotive has a geared drive. The pistons are mounted vertically on one side of the boiler. They drive a crankshaft connected to a jointed shaft which runs the length of the loco. This in turn drives bevel gears which are mounted on each axle. The wheels are in mounted in pivoted trucks (bogies) like a diesel loco. This gives a low geared and flexible engine suitable for sharp curves and delivery of power at slow speed. Shay's are a unique American design that have been around since the late 1800s.
