Shay Update

Well its been a busy week even with the cold rainy weather. The backhead on the shay has been re-plumbed. On the fireman's side I placed the 3/8 Penberthy injector. On the engineer's side I placed a #16 lifting injector from Macc Engineering. This is currently the largest one they make for 3/8 tube. It should work very well for this engine. Also installed a 1" extended stem ball valve for use as a blow down. Still waiting on the new pressure gauge and a hydrostatic lubricator. I fitted up the cab parts to check for clearances. Next week I will be working on the firepan and burner set up in the firebox.
