I have a couple of ideas... You might try eBay. The pics are not always the best but I have had pretty good luck finding just about everything there. If you have a certain manufacturer in mind you might see if they are still in business and maybe have a web site or some contact info. If all else fails, make it up as you go. Good luck! [:)]

You should try http://www.northeast.railfan.net/plow2.html That should give you a few pictures of the blade system.

Later,

I have several photos of WP&Y Rotary car #1, I took them when I rode the WP&Y in Alaska with the intent to build one for G-gage. I finshed the car and tender last December.
Send me an e-mail address if you still need photos. I can send you pictues of the build and the final car if you like, if not, I won't be offended. It will take me a few days to dig up the photos.
