I recognise that coach.... A very good plough though, ideally simple using the existing buffer holes. Nice one.

Don't worry it's still my coach, he was 'borrowing' it :D

I'm not sure that will work without the other bolt.

it's a very good design. I think if someone made them they would be snapped up, I'd buy one instantly!

Awesome and very simple plough! I should make a slightly larger one for my engines using that same principle! Nice one!

oops Disaster as the WPSR fitter mounted the plough using buffers instead of the bolts supplied. The plough worked loose and caused a derailment. A visit to the workshop has remounted the plough with bolts for a more solid fit.

I thought it looks better with buffers but looks give way to functionality. :lol:
