They were a popular type of geared locomotive used primarily for logging and industrial applications during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Class D Shay locomotives were an improved version of the earlier Class C Shay locomotives, featuring several design enhancements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClass D Shays had three cylinders and four trucks, and weight of 100 and 150 short tons. They were no more powerful than Class C, but had greater fuel and water capacity, resulting in improved adhesion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe distinguishing feature of the Shay locomotives was their unique geared drivetrain, which allowed them to deliver high tractive effort and excellent pulling power on rough and steep terrain. This geared drive mechanism used a series of gears and drive shafts to transfer power from the steam engine to the wheels. The gears increased the torque available to the wheels, making them well-suited for hauling heavy loads and navigating challenging terrain.  These locomotives were particularly popular in the logging industry, where their ability to negotiate tight curves and steep gradients made them ideal for hauling heavy timber out of rugged and remote areas.  The Shay locomotives also found use in various other industries, such as mining, construction, and sugar plantations, where their reliability and power were valued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThey stand as a testament to the ingenuity and versatility of these remarkable steam locomotives that played a significant role in the industrial and transportation history of the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn our first production run, we are offering several variations of the 150-ton Class D Shay locomotives.  We offer locomotives in multiple road names and paint schemes.  Each of our models will be available with our newest Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC sound system with smoke and integral GoPack capacitors.  Our models have die cast locomotive and tender bodies for maximum weight and tractive effort.  See below for additional model features including the full list of individually controllable lights.\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e.    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#111111\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"33%\"\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"5%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"left\" width=\"33%\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eALL-NEW Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eOperating Smoke Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003e5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eHeavy Die Cast Boiler, Tender Body, and Chassis for Increased Tractive Effort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Reverse Light, and Cab Light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eFactory-installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Ladders, Conduit, Generators, Whistle, Horn, and Brass Bell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eEquipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius:  18 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003eAccurate Prototypical Sounds for a Shay Locomotive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"left\" width=\"5%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBroadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
