    What is everyone doing to fill the pilot holes on the MT GP35 and body mount couplers? What plows are available, or is everything needed to be scratchbuilt?

    I made my own filler for the pilot with MTL 905 coupler and hand formed the plow from brass sheet, but I know the plow from the SD40-2 will work with a bit of glue if you can find them. I took one of the rear of an SD40-2 for one of mine.

    Tom,
    I close the front with styrene pieces and use MTL, some etched and some hand-rolled snowplows depending on which type of snowplow you need, there a heeps of different styles around

    So when are the plows from MT going to be available? I have a use for a few of those and was just wondering.
