Accucraft 13 Ton Australian Shay Parts Diagram

I took my live steam 13 T Australian Shay on a road trip, and of course the vibrations from travel ended up loosening some screws.

Unfortunately, I lost a critical part while running on a friend's layout. Accucraft can (probably) supply the part if I can give them the page # and part #. As I do not have the manual with me, I would appreciate if someone could provide the page and part # for:

The female part of the slip joint on the drive shaft.
The small Phillips head screw that holds the female slip joint in the universal joint.

Thanks:

Here is the manual page. Looks like 3-18 is the cardan, and M2-3 the fastener

Thank you! That is spot on, I appreciate it.

As a follow up, I called acucraft and they do have the parts and they are being shipped. Meanwhile, I was at a steam up out of town.So I disconnected the front truck and was able to run the shea as a rear wheel drive instead of an all wheel drive.And it did okay as long as you kept the weight down.

Glad to hear the Shay is so versatile! I need to reassemble my Shay's running gear with more loctite to avoid this issue.
