Snow fighting equipment....

Thinking to myself....what the..!?
Never seen this one before!

huh... I've never seen a double sided one before. I guess it would make sense as it would make it easier to turn around without a carousel.

CN had some for use in branch lines where there no places to turn them.

"All" you'd need to model this one is a couple of those new Russell plows from Walthers. Would only cost about US$140 plus shipping and any pieces of styrene or whatnot!

Got to have some snow equipment,.eh?

Walthers' Russell plows would not be suitable for this model, the blade isn't deep enough.

I scratchbuilt mine:

A modeler has prepared a design to have such a plow printed on a 3D printer from Shapeways, you can buy one from them.

Nice one!

If you go digging on the internet, look for the old AHM snowplow mounted on a gondola. It's supposed to be based on a MILW model.

Then there's old Athearn rotary snowplow, too.

Cool!
Cheers for the heads up!

Now, if I only could build this one...

It doesn't look that different than the Roundhouse/ Athearn Rotary Snowplow.

Perhaps it could be kitbashed.
