All steam shows are good but this one is the Granddaddy of them all 👍- was out to the show 83 thru 89 and we still talk about it regularly

How does a shay work? I see vertical and sideways movement but no forward movement. I also don’t see wheels on the drivers side

The engine turns a drive shaft that runs the length of the locomotive. There are bevelled gears on both the wheels on the right side of the locomotive and on the drive shaft.
