Different is good.
Who does the model, and is it available in O-gauge?

I'm not a fan of diesels in general, but I'd make an exception with the diesel Shay.
Here's a photo of a dieseled, Heisler geared locomotive

What a terrific hybrid. I am guessing we wont be seeing any manufacturers jumping to model it..but it would make a great kit bash. In On3...that would be cool.
I'll see your diesel Shay and Heisler and raise you a diesel powered 0-6-0:
The radiator's in the smokebox, (hard to see, but there is a screened opening on the smokebox door...) the diesel's in the firebox, chain drive to the rear axle and exhaust shoots out the stack.
The locomotive's at Calgary's Heritage Park. It currently serves as a back-up locomotive for their two ex-US Army 0-6-0's (lettered Canadian Pacific...)

Ha..makes you wonder how many miles these get per gallon of fuel. 
Thats wild.
Should be how many gallons of fuel would this use to go a mile!
A Diesel & Steam Shay • VERY COOL

Back in the day, the EMD salesman said of the brand new SD7 locomotive....."All the advantages of a Shay, with none of the disadvantages." Not sure if these are what he had in mind ! ! !

Let's not go giving the U.P. Steam Manager any bright ideas.

The more I looked at that picture the more I wondered what kind of horsepower the engine driving that would need not only to pull itself but to have enough left over to pull a consist. What kind of transmission is there? I would think it would be diesel powered.

It must also run the air brake system I would think. Steam power would seem to be simple compared to this...depending on expertise no doubt about that. At least it isnt hand cranked.
Half dog and half cat. Too weird!

Is it tier 4 compliant?
Best looking 44 toner I've ever seen - and one with an attitude.
