Steve, thanks. Glad to see you and Deano posting here again.
Deano, that's a strange looking plow.

Bruce, that plow was pretty common for some roads, UP, CNW, Rock Island and the Milwaukee Road come to mind right away, but I am sure more roads used them. That style plow came in several slight variations, you could see them with no side skirts, half side skirts, and like I modeled, the full side skirt. You used to be able to buy that plow from details west, it does not come with the side skirts. I just checked for it but cant seem to find it for sale now , perhaps my search words were wrong?
Anyways, back at Zealot(I did TONS of tutorials there) I did a step by step tutorial on how I made that plow , sadly, NONE of my threads are there anymore . As for the pics, those are also long gone as that was about 6 computers ago .
BOTTOM LINE...Thanks for noticing!

I’ve been working on a project that I found on ReadingModeler.com from builder Casey. It’s a Reading G2sa built from a Bachmann K4 with DCC. Tender is from a Bachmann I-10. My plans are to have have my G2 represent the one featured in Railroad Encyclopedia of Steam Locomotives G2 #175. https://www.flickr.com/gp/187615008@N05/493f58 . Sorry about link, trying to figure out how to post photo from Flickr.

Throughout the steam era the Canadian National Railway had a total of 203 "Northern type" steam locomotives (4-8-4) on it's roster divided into 4 sub-classes.Here's one of my favourites---U2C #6153.

Great shots everyone. Didn't get a chance to take any photos this weekend. Hopefully will get some later this week.
