turbos Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 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. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 None of my pictures from 1983 to 1985 show 27029 fitted with ploughs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
