Unlike standard steam engines every wheel of the Shay engine and tender is a drive wheel no wheel can spin unless they all spin, thus giving the Shay tremendous power.  Vertical cylinders and the crankshaft make multiple power strokes per revolution of the gear driven wheels for a smooth, even flow of power to negotiate steep grades with heavy loads effortlessly.
