MOC Snow Groomers

[Htrag]

Hello, all. I'm new as a registered user, but have been lurking here for a couple of years. The Town forum is always my favorite.

I'm here today to share a couple creations of mine. I've been building LEGO snow groomers since I was about 7 years old. I still don't know why LEGO has never had a ski area line, but that just leaves room for me to use my imagination. I have two different machines here. The first is a Prinoth BR-350. It is very common in the US and Canada. They typically come in yellow, but the first ones I ran were blue, so I had to have a blue one.

The second creation here is a Pisten Bully 400, which is found throughout the world. I've never run one of these, but I did run its big brother, the Pisten Bully 600.

Edit: I've also added photos of another over-the-snow vehicle. They can be used for grooming, but are less effective. It is a Tucker Sno-Cat 1643 used for hauling people around.

Nice original creations!

for your information, since you're into these themes, lego has made some snow-hill themed sets:

Some in Gravity games in 2003-2004 http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Sports&subtheme=Gravity%20Games

As well as a technic groomer in 2009: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8263-1

I forgot about the Gravity Games...I ordered the Technic one the second that I could. It is probably my favorite set of all time.

Brilliant creations that look practical and accurate, more pictures of all three please.

Maybe it's because Holloween is around the corner (and scary movies), but when I look at these, I can't get my mind off the movie, The Shining. Anyway, these are really, really good. I especially like the two red ones. Great little MOCs there.
