Athearn Rotary Snowplow
#5
Thanks Jim, I've been doing some research on rotary plows, and in addition to saving a bunch of photos, I discovered that they had air brakes  (as did, of course, the tender) but I also read that the pilot (the guy in charge of the rotary) was also in charge of the rotary's fireman and engineer and the crew of the locomotive providing the pushing power, the latter through the use of whistle signals.

While I won't be adding LPCs (Little Plastic Crewmen), I will be adding brake equipment under both the rotary and its tender, which should give the underbodies a little more heft.  I think that I'll skip linkage to the lead truck, though, as the flanger blade will be in the way.  In my version, the linkage for that will be inside the plow's body.
