Railways Snow Plow Rescue Hi, I am new in this forum and just introduced myself in Community. This is my entry for [TRIPLE] contest: a railways snow plow and a rescue train, made of a shunting locomotive and a railways crane, in years 1950 to 1960. The railways snow plow is inspired from a real SNCF snow plow named "Pontarlier". It has 496 pieces. Its technical functions are the following ones: - Power Function motorization with a medium motor - transmission to axles through rods - both propellers are also linked to medium motor The shunting locomotive is type 030T (according to French denomination) and is typical from locomotives dedicated to branch lines, services in station or small private companies. It has 492 pieces. Its technical functions are the following ones: - Power Function motorization with a medium motor - coupling rods between axles - motor rod - the central axle is not a blind one; both wheels are independant and can move in a lateral way to accomodate curves. The crane is a small railways crane and is from early twentieth century. It has 390 pieces. Its technical functions are the following ones: - the crane can go up and down - the hook can go up and down Both are equipped with endless screws in order to maintain a constant height; they are of course independant. - not really Technic: the crane is also equipped with stabilizers which can be folded and unfolded.

Hi, I am new here and join the forum - which I have been reading for a while. My wife offered me a few years ago the famous "Emerald night" train set. The original model did not last a very long time; I improved it and tried to build other models. After different trials, I finally choose to build French trains from years 1950 to 1960 in 9 wide, trying to make them look as close as possible to real trains. These trains include snot technics and often technical functions, for Power Function motors, steam locomotives' rods or specific vehicles (cranes, etc.). Nice to meet all of you here!
