I saw some models of Norwegian Steam at the toy fair, and was struck by the fact that they wore the same "eye brow snowplows" (for lack of a better term.. :p) as pictured on the MOW diesel. I guess you stick with what works!

The V-shaped plow works pretty well, and is used on pretty much all regular engines. We also have several types of dedicated snow plows - rotary or otherwise - nice to have when snow gets 10-12 feet deep across the mountains and you have to cut a trench through the snow for the trains to get through
Here is a link to a page that shows various MOW rolling stock: http://www.home.no/eyolf/Hobby/Jernbaneb...anlegg.htm
There is two series of pictures of rotary plows in there.
