Keith obviously posted his photo for Chris Walker -- for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, here's how Keith's number 6 looks:




Beautiful locomotive, Keith!

Wow, Mike, was nothing standard on the C&Sng?

I measured my plows, all are 42" from the bottom of the blade center to the top of the blade, so they were likely based on C&S 2-6-0s. And 3 out of 4 have the extra plates under the pilot beam and the coupler draft gear, like on number 9. One doesn't, must have come from a number 60, can't remember. So, I have both plows.

As for fitting under the larger 2-8-0s, I'm backdating my 71 to about 1924, based on the Otto Perry photo. This is what I'm aiming for:




And this is as far as I've gotten:




I think the plow looks pretty good, though now that you've gone and mentioned it, I'll probably file off the little plates ala number 9.

Or, by larger engines, are you referring to the big B4-Fs??




The plow on number 75 looks pretty tall, too.
