Dan Griffin Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 currently on my work bench are two class 40 bogies awaiting conversion into snow ploughs. however im having great difficulty finding pictures and drawings on the ploughs, my research trip to peterborough found two pairs of ZZA's but the bogie based ones had departed for scottish climbs!! has anyone on here built thier own ploughs they can upload a picture of? or detail pics of a plough?? my models will be finished in BR yellow. im after details on the walkways behind the plough blade. also can anyone advise me on actually making the blade? and what, if any, methods other people have used? thanks in advance.

Lyddrail Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have part built 4 of these but I am using the Britannia Paciffic 4mm kits. See below for kit components and prototype views. Above shots are from Strattford. There were differences between these being built at Ashford and somewhere else! (which I can't remember wher). Cheers.

Dan Griffin Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 excellent thanks, do you know if foxes produce transfers for these ploughs in yellow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Britannia do transfers including the shark teeth, they come with the kit, but does not include the NSE version details. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 26, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2012 just wondering, were the real blades some sort of 'proprietary' item or made in-house during the conversions? if using an already available item, there may be an equivalent somewhere in road vehicle snowploughs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't know if transfers can be obtained seperately, you will need to ask. The blades were Beilhack from Germany I believe. I do have a scale plan of the blade but as a flat diagram it is not that helpful. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
