The snowplow thread
Posted by NVSRR on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 6:40 PM

It is that time of year for the plows to appear. since they pop up on other threads, figured a deicated tyhread could be used for showing off the plows. Showing builds and such.

on the right is a plow /ice breaker unit. I havent finished the breaker.    On the left was suppossed to be the plow donnor, but it is an early Rivarossi version that looked too nice with workinh light.  A quick ebay search found an old new, IHC version that worked better as blade donnor. 

 

Ok show and tell time. projects, finished and in progress. includes rotaries.   and chat....

Hi Shane,

Here is my fleet, some finished, some not:

Kit bashed plow with a scratchbuilt brass blade:

Kitbashed galloping goose with a brass blade. This one has to be rebuilt because it shorts out constantly. I think the blade might be too close to the rails:

The following are all made from Roundhouse 3 in 1 kits:

This is a shorty CP plow made from a Walthers kit:

I'm sure everyone has seen this. It is nearing completion:

It is a real pity that the Roundhouse 3 in 1 kits are no longer made. The bits of kits that they were made from are rare now too.

Cheers!!
