Drawings..... Before start ????? What da hell are you talking about  ;D ;D ;) :D

Lloyd, I can ensure you that I used plans on all my rolling stock very seldome ;-) It's to much building time wasted on this stuff ;-)
One exception is my actual Shay project, where I've drawn some critical parts like the trucks and I'll need detail drawings for the steam engine.

More important as plans and drawings are the results. I think building freelance/freestyle without plans and based on own ideas is one importent aspect to be a real great model builder.

And your plow looks absolutly awesome. I'm a fan of WSLC-stuff so the prototype for your plow is well known and you captured the look and design very well.

I've also planed to build a snow plow in this style for my large scale railroad. But as long as I've no own track layout or chance to buck snow with them, I parked this plans for the unkown future.

Keep up your great modeling work.
