So the CVRR has been looking for a snow plow that didn’t look like all the others, could hold a crew on a 24/7 basis with all the creature comforts in case of a 72 hr revolving shift. Unable to purchase such a plow the shops in Mechanicsburg have decided to build one. This plow was based on the old B&O X-26 and once the crew started building this plow to satisfy their company’s requirements they realized it looked like a “Penguin” and have dubbed the build as such! Below is a shot of the X-26 , may I note this will be the first rolling stock build for the CVRR shops>
Scanned this out of a book so not sure of the photo credit I want to first add that I started by taking the cabin off the Aristo track cleaner car and knocking the stakes out of the Aristo plow car. This turned out to be an interesting configuration but not what I’m after, very simple to do though.
With that said may I start a thread… building the “Penguin” … shops have about 8hrs into the build so far and need to add their own personal creativity into this project yet.
The great Father knowing about bheer and snow came in for inspection today after a few “Holy Waters”
But 'the Penguin" fits it quite well. Looks like a great project.
so the line can be cleared and then cleaned for operations. Kinda hoping for snow this year. The viaduct and deck truss are snow virgins and the “Penguin” would love to plow them! Have no snow shots of Lemo interchange blahh blahh blahh…My typical rant Ken!
