Bruce, fabulous. What is your secret for the snow. It is very realistic and I assume it vacuums easily.

Bruce---Whiskey Point looks like it could use some help from the Leetown Division

During the winter season the "lake effect snows'' have a major impact on the local railroads especially in the higher elevations of the Niagara Peninsula.A TH&B snowplow extra heads south to clear the tracks at Vinemount

Charlie,

Thanks, it's called soft flake snow from Woodland Scenics and it does vacuum up easily.

Ed,

Nice plows, you will most likely need them more up in your area.

Has anyone modelled a double-track plough? No, it's not twice the width.
The left side goes a long way forward and the plough part is not V shaped but a straight line. The idea is that the snow is pushed to the side rather than half onto the other track.
Read an article, but don't remember seeing them.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.

I've not modelled one, but have seen photos of the real ones, David.  If I'm not mistaken, though, I think that Bob Boudreau made a very nice model of one, perhaps featured in RMC or MR some time ago.

Thanks, Mr Nutbar.

Now, what did they do with the coupling and the airhose when they were ploughing?
