@kj356 posted:I have been wishing someone would produce the WP Shovel nose engine in either On30 or O gauge/scale. Have a picture on a poster in my room and the other day I was looking at this and a British Diesel that was sitting on a shelf nearby. I thought after looking at the image and model; that it is not to far off perhaps I can modify it for a shovel nose!
So I have started cutting and sanding off the side will cut out a new side with the grills on the side and build a winter hatch on the roof and rear cab end. Will need to build up the front and add on a plow. And of course figure out what to use for powered chassis.The front/side windows and lights are fairly close to the WP shovel nose. Will post some updates as I get time to work on this.
All ready have some box cars and trailers that I will put on some shorter flats. Need to paint up some other cars as well. Thanks to Tom for the inspiration with your creations top of this post!
CDS dry transfer White Pass decals are available from Ozark Miniatures, they say that if you do not see a decal in stock they are able to print it as a water slide decal just ask.
I was hoping that the Canadian Toy Train Association might consider doing a run of MTH reefer cars in the Green with yellow White Pass lettering Gateway to the Yukon cars. They did the other White Pass cars in these photos;

I have made a couple of Shovelnose units. Took a lot of time and a couple of years, and I'm still not done.
I also stumbled on these plans the other day. Hopefully they help.
