The picture I found is presumably buried somewhere in the Echills web site.
It was made by Ikon Engineering so probably similar to those on this website

Gnot the right loco, but suitable for showing what a Bachmann Shay could be made into
OK I Gnow the Bachmann is a "T" boiler prototype, but who really cares

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer.
The only thing that keeps me sane, is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes....
Never knowingly sensible!

I actually have an old Keystone/NWSL Shay converted to ON30! The boilers are quite similar! Too bad I dont like toy "toy" trains. My driver would gneed to sit in the engine under some shelter, like a cab! Oh well!

Echills Wood is only 7.25" gauge. A sit in steam loco would be a pretty big ask. Set your prototype around 10.25" gauge and thats possible.
There was a nice Shay on the 16" guage Pinnconning & Blind River railway. See http://www.telmore.com/p&br.html. The website shows a black three truck version. The History of Model & Miniature Railways magazine Part 20 shows a Silver two truck version.

Thanks Paul! The 3 truck still looks toy like with the hole in the roof! Mines a 2 truck that runs really slow, but Ill have to try your cab on it for a test! Photos in the modeling matters section whe I get less lazy! I did get a tripod, and it really makes a difference!

edit: Since its HO gauge(the Keystone), it should probably go into Modeling Matters! Sorry
