You bring up a good point...a friend told me that they referred to it as "The Humdirgun"
and I'm not at all certain as to the spelling. Comox, later Crown-Zellerbach did own more
than one 2T Shay, the 12? was on display right next to the Hwy. along with a 2-8-2 and if
I am correct on this, the Shay up at Elk Falls might have been a former Comox machine.
To get back to your specific question, no I don't know which Shay it was built from sorry.
Thanks for posting the photos.
