We will receive new stock of the Accucraft Shay 13T Class A next week!

LIMA 13-2 CLASS A 13 TON SHAY

The 13-2 Class A straight boiler Shay locomotive was one of Lima’s industrial success stories, with virtually identical examples built for US and international industry and plantations lines. Orders were built for New York, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington State, Minnesota and Hawaii. In addition, exports were built for Queensland Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico and more. Despite its small stature, the design was built for a wide variety of gauges including 50cm, 24”, 30” 36”, 42” and standard gauge. The 13-2 Class A is a 2 cylinder, 13 Ton conventional straight boiler design, and differs from other 13 Ton ‘T’ boiler and tapered boiler designs.

Today there is only one known survivor of this design of 13-2 Class A, as built for Queensland, Australia in 1908 and 1914 (Two locomotives were rebuilt into one). In 1908, the Moreton Central Sugar Mill purchased a Shay Class A called Dulong and ran the locomotive on the steep tramline from Nambour to Dulong in Queensland. Maroochy Shire Council purchased the tramline and the Dulong in 1914 extending the line to Mapleton. A second Shay locomotive was purchased in 1914, named Mapleton. In 1944, the Mapleton Tramway closed down and the Moreton Central Sugar Mill purchased the locomotives, rolling stock and track. In 1948, the two much worn Shays were rebuilt into one viable locomotive to become known simply as ‘Shay’. Shay was retired in1960 and is now preserved at the Nambour Museum in beautifully restored, non operational condition.

The model will be gauge adjustable for 32mm and 45mm and will come with two types of stack as typically supplied by Lima when built.

Accucraft Trains logging disconnects are highly detailed scale models of the specialized railcars used in logging operations during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These cars were designed to transport logs from forested areas to mills or other processing locations. Key features of Accucraft's logging disconnects include:
Authentic Design: Accurate replicas of historical logging cars, modeled after prototypes.
Materials: High-quality construction using metal, wood, and other durable materials to reflect the appearance and functionality of the original cars.
Customization Options: Features like removable stakes, chains, and detailed fittings for realistic operation.
These cars are popular among hobbyists for recreating historical logging railroads or enhancing their model train layouts with industrial-era realism.

Following the great success of the Accucraft UK Talyllyn Railway models of Dolgoch and Talyllyn, Accucraft UK are now pleased to announce the follow-up model in this range, TR No 3, Sir Hayden/Corris Railway No 3.

The locomotive we know today as Talyllyn Railway No. 3 Sir Haydn was built by Hughes’s Locomotive & Tramway Engine Works (later known as the Falcon Works), Loughborough in 1878 for the Corris Railway (CR), until closure in 1948, and since 1951 has operated on the nearby Talyllyn Railway (TR). It has carried its running number under four successive owners. Like the TR The Corris Railway was built to 2 ft 3 in, completed in 1859, running from Machynlleth to Corris and on to Aberllefenni to serve local slate quarries. Originally, the line was horse-drawn, but three identical 0-4-0ST locomotives, numbered 1 to 3, were ordered from Hughes’ in 1878. Between 1883 and 1900, the locomotives were fitted with trailing pony trucks, converting them into 0-4-2STs. In 1921, the CR acquired a fourth locomotive from Kerr Stuart and No.2 became a standby. At this stage the history of the three Hughes engines becomes complicated, the best components from each one were used to create one, good, working locomotive and the exact portion of the original No. 3 is open to conjecture. Negotiations began to sell the Corris Railway to the Great Western Railway in 1929 and Nos. 1 and 2 were scrapped before the purchase was completed on 4th August 1930. Aberllefenni Quarry was leased by the local member of parliament and owner of the Talyllyn Railway, Sir Henry Haydn Jones. His support for rail transport for the quarry’s output was critical in keeping the railway open up to and including World War Two; without this support it is likely that the railway would have closed, and the locomotives been scrapped. No. 3 was still working when the Corris came under the control of British Railways following nationalisation in 1948, however, this was short-lived, and the last train ran on 20th August that year. No. 3 was then left under tarpaulin at the rear of the Corris Railway’s Machynlleth station along with the other remaining Corris engine, No. 4.[9]
