    I did something similar to this many years ago using an old surplus Triang B12 tender. It was by no means an accurate model, but purely representative. I don't think I have any photos of it, but I do still have the model.

    Great build Keith and you have a very unique model that will be a talking point on your layout.
    So when do we see the Snow scene Start to take shape on your layout:avatar::avatar:

    Shan't be bothering with any snow, Chris, it'll just be parked up in a siding rather like I'd guess most of the real ones were, in 'instant readiness', should there be a major fall of snow!

    Here are a couple of photos of the one I did all those years ago, based on a surplus Triang B12 tender. The design is freelance but based very loosely on photos of some real snow ploughs. One of these days I may get around to replacing the original plastic wheels with metal ones and painting the yellow and black stripes on the plough.

    Essentially, I had the same idea as Keith did, quite independently ... great minds think alike! :)

    The thought did occur to me to do a second, matching one, Ian. They would then run with a locomotive in the middle as a sort of push-pull ploughing train. However, I have never really bothered to look for another B12 tender to match the first.
