FOUND: Kozo Hiraoka “Building the New Shay”

Post by jgpierce »

****UPDATE**** I found the "Pennsylvania A3" book and am still looking for "Building the New Shay". Thanks for the help.

If you would like to cull your library I’d love to purchase the Kozo Hiraoka "Building The New Shay," but can't find it elsewhere. The interweb comes up dry.
Thanks for the help,

I think I’ve got a surplus copy of both books. I’ll send you a pm here in a bit after I check.

I don't think the PM is working.

If you haven't yet seen it on Youtube, check out "Blondihacks", as she constructs the PRR A3 from scratch. Her given name is Quinn, and she's a damn fine machinist. Even if you don't build the model, the series is interesting and enjoyable to follow.

Quinn's build is very good:

There is also a build on the Model Maker Forum by Kim which is also very good:

Lots to learn.
