Speaking of the 560 and snow plows, here is one I made in December during the holidays, for my HO 560. I have also made a snow bucket, but I haven't made pictures since. They are both painted now.  Plow1 by Ironstef70, on Flickr  Plow2 by Ironstef70, on Flickr Stephane

Thanks guys, I wish to do the weathering of the old dog and its attachments someday ( already started with the tires, as some will notice), but I still need to complete the modifications on the loader first. I have already replaced the ugly plastic cab ladder and the exhaust by brass elements. I also wish to add some hydraulics and pulling chains on the counterweight.

I like the model as it is a solid diecast body, with very little resin, and is pretty well detailed for the scale. I think it's worth the attention.

Ironstef70, that is splendid work in such a small scale, The ladder looks so much better than original, as does exhaust. That will turn out great. keep posting. CAW

Ironstef70 that is great work in 1/87 scale. That now looks very much like the First Gear 560 in 1/25 scale with your upgrades not including the size difference.

Thank you again. Now I was working on other projects and not supposed to complete this on short terms. I guess I got peers pressure now  Still, for those non-Northerners of yours wondering about the design of the snow blade: the top plate is meant for scraping the snow backwards in huge parking lots. pulling backwardsS.
