The first were 18-ton Shays, which a total of eight were acquired between 1911 and 1913. The heavier 28-ton version, a total of twelve were acquired, were constructed between 1914 and 1917. Accucraft Model Trains is pleased to announce production of the Alishan Forest Railways 28-ton Shay #26 in 1:20.3 scale. This locomotive is the only Shay currently operational on the railway. Built by Lima in August 1914, like all of the Alishan Shays, it was rebuilt over the years by the railways shops, therefore it differs from its original appearance.
