Shay 100th birthday party
Dan Rowe:
Paul, a single Shay went to England shop number 618. It was one of the few Shays built with a copper firebox.
Cheers Dan

Any idea where or what for?
Dan Rowe:
Paul,
Staffordshire Steel & Ingot Iron Works, #1 named "Lima", Bilston, England
Here is where to look up Shays by shop number and a lot of other options, just choose 'Lima#' then select 618 for a photo.

Interesting, that's less than 10 miles from me as the crow flies! Seems the engine had a very short life, built 1900 scrapped 1918.

The detail in the photo is quite impressive when you zoom in on it.
Must have been a big box cameral or something.
