Miniature loco snow ploughs tended to be removed for the summer (when most photos were taken) and then fitted for the winter (when fewer photos were taken), and often they were not removed for the summer and not fitted for the winter either! If you have definite photo evidence it helps, but just because nobody took a photo of it  (film was expensive) didn’t mean they were or were not fitted. The only general rule on 26s and 27s snow ploughs is that 26/0 and the E&G 27s were never fitted.

Rule 1 can always be applied to 27029 and snow ploughs.

Scotland seems to have either kept the ploughs on all year or did not have them fitted depending on the individual loco.

 

Found these on flickr by just typing in 27029:

 

 

 

 

 

I reckon no ploughs for 029.

None of my pictures from 1983 to 1985 show 27029 fitted with ploughs.

Yes. Seen those apart from the top one which is quite useful as well. 

So boilertank and ploughless it is then. 

 

Thanks
