Looks kinda like the plow LGB has the C&S Forny
Slick, you found our plows yet?

Dude, I am going to cry......Oh VIC!!!! What loco would have that snow plow on it??? I sure the heck would not know.
FordCVP71 I checked my feedback yesterday but the auction is from more than 90 days ago so cant see what the auctions were for
I still got my fingers crossed someone will chime in with some more helpful information over on the bachmann forums
What is your eBay ID? Like mine is trains_casino!
No luck with the plow yet sofar only replies on the Bachmann forums are making me think its somthing someone custom made with a mold
445 is running great as is with the big hauler lower, the annie lower is still dead though. I took the botom cover off and looked around didnt notice anything like broken gears or anything so I think the motors fried, everythings getting power and when I swapped the doner big hauler boiler & cab onto the annie lower I reconnected all the wires so the headlight & smoke unit both still work... Need to figure out how to remove the motor now, If I cant replace it would be nice if the loco could atleast roll freely
Hi Toad,
No running today (Friday) I'm afraid the weather is cold and very windy. But most days I manage to run trains in the afternoons. The great thing this time of year is it doesn't get dark until around gone 10pm, so there is no rush to put it all back into the stock cupboard.
I run Bachmann one day and Arsito the next
BTW - I hope you are over your wreck and not sufferering any after affects.

Hi GW! Hope your having a good day.
Say Ash, you find out yet? Did you get the loco going?
Anyways looking for snow plow.........hint!
Toadster
Hi Mr. Ash,
I had an "Annie" which came via an American dealer through to a UK seller. It seemed to jamb after getting stuck on a switch. The reason was that the nuts securing the motion were loose. This is, apparently, a common fault on Bachmann locos.
You may have checked this, but it is just a thought. Anyway I hope you can get it sorted without too much expense and grief.
The seller changed it for me by the way as I had only just purchased it..
Yeah we would not want any tissue paper thieves to pass you while you was on eBay and they had the idea to rule the world with t - paper...........
Checkn eBay now to see what else I can sell...... I would try to sell your sis but she would go kicking and screaming I bet.
What type of training you guys get? Is it like police when I was in? Did SWAT (big joy, NOT), first responder, life light landing zone dude...etc.. Swat was thought buy a ex-jar head and I felt the song "In the Army again" roll through my bone head.
Hint: Always go to the bathroom before gettn hit by a tazar!
Yeah I looked and could not find one. Just check your feedback and see which guy/gal sent it to yeah. Hope it was not a 1 time thing or it is hiding in someones store.
Edit: Makes for a more impressive cow catcher........
lol Toadfry Bogart
Ill do my best to figure out where it came from, I wouldnt mind getting ahold of another one myself
Ok funny boy......you better go back to your feedback and see who was the seller......see......we don't like rats around here, see......We need to know these things....see
Toadfry Bogart
See
Plow came from Ebay
Seems to be made for big haulers, snaps right on the pilot and theres even a little notch where the tip of the cow catcher rests. I glued mine on and reinforced it with wood and lots of superglue. The pilot, cow catcher & plow are one solid piece now so mounting the plow on a diffrent engine requires the whole pilot to be removed kinda prototypical but IDK how well its going to do plowing snow
The couple pocket is fake I just chopped the mount off a kadee body mount coupler up and glued it in the pocket, the coupler still functions and works on straight track but it cant swing at all.. ah well... looks cooler than it did without a coupler

Your pushing 16AC Volts to the tracks??????????????
Yeah I want a plow to.......where you buy it???
Ta hell with all this electronics blather, WHERED YA GET THAT AWESOME SNOWPLOW!
Have fun with your trains
one I normaly use came either from LGB or Bachmann starter set says... "Hobby Transformer" Made in China by Sandan
Dan,
By Proper power supply I meant what ever power supply he normally uses.
Please define PROPER POWER SUPPLY
A 19 volt 4.7 amp is plenty for running an ANNIE with some sort of speed controller, afterall the sets come with the 7va power packwhich would be 14 volts at .5 amps or 18 volts at somewhat less amps and no filtering.
I run the Aristocraft Basic TE with a 19.6, 3.16 amp supply and have absolutely no trouble. (old Compaq laptop supply).
Those discarded laptop power supplies are great to use with the trains.
PS the line and dots represent DC power output, AC output would have been the tilda (~) sign.
No noise what so ever, tried flipping the polarity switch back and forth a few times, trired the correct power pack nada... other trains run fine on the track at the same time all that this one does is light up (headlight forward & back when i change directions) and smoke (smoke unit when turned on)....
<<<UPDATE>>>
These engines really arnt very hard to take apart just had to work up the nerve to try! I swapped the lower half with a spare D&RGW 177 I picked up off ebay a couple months back for $50 I didnt want 445 to die first so it didnt....... Just need to get rid of the white wall tires
Bestest part of all is now that its a big hauler I can swap pilots with my other big hauler's....
And ofcorse looken good at being spare parts... (Lights & Smoke still work!)
It means the output was 19 volts DC with a 4.74 amp power rating. Have you tried the loco with a proper power supply and such? When you first apply power does it make any noises? Did you lube this Loco before it was put on the track? Have you checked the NMRA switch to make sure it's all the way to one position or the other?
I dont know what the power supply is for but its from Gatway so either a monitor or a laptop, It says...
Output 19V then after that there is a solid line with 3 dashes under it followed by 4740 mA
What's that mean?
LOL Toad she isnt a natural blond but you would think she is
I got the kid a LGB starter set for his 2nd birthday / christmas, they have it setup in a spare room of there new house. When he comes over I let him run a big hauler Durango & Silverton 177. Its great I put an extra fireman shovel on the back of the tender and when he stops the train he pretends to shovel coal and then will load & unload little crates and boxes from the boxcar and combine before shouting "All Abord!" and look all excited as the train starts up with that crapy electric chuff chasing it around the oval of track a few times before stopping it and doing it all again
I have solved the problem here....did you say your sister is abit blight (blonde)? So buy her a New Blight train set with batteries all for her own!
Poor pops there, just tag everything and make a color coded all the way! But don't tell your sister! She might want to conect the dots and not color?!
(Shakes his head at running a train with 110v......)
Why couldnt the kiddo fry his own engine lol... Nooo its safe on the siding with the plastic rail joiners lol oh well atleast it wasnt the K27
Don't Screw with Trains Unless I am Here!
This Means You!
well on there website under warranty info it says its $50 service charge for repair or replacement on large scale spectrum & annie loco's...
I didnt even think to check but I didnt leave a power supply hooked up to my Aristo basic TE last time I ran trains over the weekend... When they told me that it didnt work I figured it wasnt plugged in but when i went down stairs and saw the the headlight was on I just ruled power out as the problem because it was getting power... I wonder what power supply my sister put on there!
