If you want to stay warm from the snow and cold, take the cab of a 2-6-0 and pop that sucker on the 0-4-0, and bam, all weather cab. just super glue it down though, it's not a tight fit. Would love to show you a pic of mine, but no camera again. :-\

Rock On!

I would like to see that if you ever get a camera, I love the all weather cabs on porters

I love that little snow plow on your engine. I am modeling a winter layout, and in the city has had a large snow fall, and I would like to fit a small plow on either a 4-4-0, or a 4-6-0, both seem awesome of course :) where did you get your little plow? Is it scrach built?

Thanks
Rock On!

It is the plow included with the on30 rail truck. It is actually mounted upside down with bent ho track nails as the mounting bars.
I removed the footboard from the front of the loco, on the back of the plow there are two studs that stick out for mounting. to get the location to drill the beam I placed a piece of masking tap over the beam then aligned the plow to the center postion then pressed it firmly.  this left little dents in the tape, I then just used a pin vise  to drill a slightly smaller diameter hole then the studs.
