Does anyone make snow plows for postwar or newer steam engines? I have found some brass stuff for on3 but nothing for O-Gauge. I'm looking for something like this.
Does this even exist in O-Gauge?

Anybody? Beuller?
As far as I'm concerned, removable plows were only made for diesel engines in my experience. I don't think I've seen anyone make plows for different steam engines in O gauge since there really hasn't been that much demand for them.
Tom - Bueller? Bueller? Funny.
Anyway, snowplow pilots on standard gauge, modern steamers were never common, so
far as I know, but were not unheard of, either. If you want to freelance a modern steamer
with a plow pilot (and it could look pretty cool), it would not be "wrong".
Don't reject the On3/On30 plows out of hand; they may be large enough for your
needs. They are "O scale", even if for narrow-gauge equipment - check proportions.
See below.
Also, the common plastic "diesel plow" would not look bad, and could easily be re-shaped
and customized with styrene and filler.
