XG BC Posted December 23, 2022 In many places the tenders from old steam locomotives where converted to snowploughs. since my layout is winter themed and it is winter currently i decided to build one: the tender before the conversion. the attached shovel is used to shovel coal. the other side. the middle axle is able to shift sideways to negotiate curves. ...and now after the conversion. the tender was repainted and now features air tanks to be able to swivel the snowploughs blades via pneumatics. the very same shovel is now used to shovel snow from switches and stuff... the color sceme is the one from my ski resort, the model is inspired by the 3axle tender of the german br24 steam locomotive: similar to this but with the air tanks and bigger plough from the "klima Schneepflug" style ones: hope you like this one and if you want to build it yourself the stud.io file is in the link in my signature.

Feuer Zug Posted December 24, 2022 Interesting way to repurpose a tender. The only thing I might suggest is using the 4x6 tiles with studs instead of plates for the wedge plow section. Nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paperinik77pk Posted December 30, 2022 Very very very nice! I like the air reservoirs on the top, and the "pointy blade" solution you used!!! Ciao! Davide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
