                          While trolling through the "NET" I came across a photo of an unusual SNOWPLOW so I could not resist modeling it to add to my "fleet"

                            wow. Is it a bird, is it plane, an UFO? That looks very weird. Nice modelling. πŸ‘

                                  looks good - it may be a purposely built one.

                                      merry christmas to you too.

                                      • if you have images of the stickers/decals on this one it is maybe possible to determine what it is used for.

                                          this might be of help - i thought it might be a gas tanker because of the volume and the shape - have been searching.

                                          i think it is the GATX96500 - 63.000 gallons - the kind of payload is not given
                                          Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_car

                                          there is a similar looking tanker - for ethanol - 50.000 gallons.
