That's often what scratchbuilding and kitbashing is all about - making something that is not commercially available. Then you have a unique model that you won't see on hundreds of other layouts. <br /> <br />I'm interested in MOW equipment, especially the ones operated by Canadian Railways - CN and CP. I wanted a short snowplow for each road, but they are only available in expensive brass. So I took Tri-Ang then later the better Walthers Russell plows and shortened them. Changed details, wings, etc., added road specific details, paint and lettering. Now I have CN an CP snow plows that are "close enough" for me and hardly look like their original Russell origins. <br /> <br />That's what the hobby is about to me mostly - making models. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
