ZZA Snowplough

[Tangoman69]

Hi guys,

I have had 2 of Flangeway snowploughs sat around for a few years now, the base models I had were IS2 & IS3.

Following the 'Beast from the East' and the affect it had on the railways here in the North East, I thought I'd weather them to indicate a heavy loading and a lighter loading of snow.

These were the base models

 

 

I toned down the yellow a bit and added some Railtec transfers to bring them up to date

 

 

Using the superb fine snow from Precision Ice & Snow, I started to build up the snowploughs around the chassis areas

 

 

I then used white flexible bath & Kitchen sealant to build up snow around the actual plough and added some more snow effect. Below is also a snap of a Lima 66 with its motor taken out still in build phase that will form a ZZA - Class 66 - Class 66 - ZZA formation

 

 

The 2nd ZZA is still in the workshops. I will post more pictures when this is complete

Very nice and unusual to see

[peak experience]

Actually a heavy covering of snow on the plough is a good way to cover up the shape error of the blade. I've a couple in 'n' gauge and I've been hoping against hope that someone would make a 3D replacement blade.

This is my other independent snowplough for the rear of my formation

 

Now i just have to tackle my 2 Beilhacks
