G scale oddity
On 25.01.2007 I won the bid on e-bay to buy a loco and tender as shown in the first picture, an LGB 91672 tender and an LGB 20040 'snowplow' with both blades although one is not attached, and also a Bachmann Porter body shell. The 'snowplow' was and still is in excellent running order. Something for the youngsters to play with instead of my other garden locos.
I was wondering what the side panes would look like in green.
As you can see from time to time I have cut bits off the body mostly just for fun, but strange as it may seem there is something I like about this oddity of a loco.
I gave it the temporary name of ‘Snowy’ simply because it is a snowplow.
Some more minor changes,
The body has never been attached properly so it had to be attached securely and level.
Poor old Snowy needed a face lift and a name change, so here it with a new dark green livery.
Body fixed securely, I already had a pair of name plates that I had ordered another loco and never fitted them, that loco has since been sold. Snowy is now officially Arthur the snowplough.
I know that it is truly an oddity, but I like it, I think that it's also a novelty, even though the paint job leaves a lot to be desired.
