A friend of mine sent a picture to me and asked if I knew what it was. What I saw in the picture was a Shay shrouded in a diesel type cab. It was lettered NYC on the side and cab # 1897. The boiler plate and headlight were sticking out the front 1897 appeared there as well. I asked myself why? Some of the information that I found related that the NYC had logging operations; but at times the Shays were assigned to work moving other freight. This entailed street running. It became apparent that the Shays scared the horses on the street. That's when the Shays got dressed. Follow this link for more information.

While searching for information I noticed that there were HO models available; but didn't see any O Ga. Was an O Ga ever produced or kitbashed?
