https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-HO-SCALE-TYCO-MANTUA-SNOW-PLOW-FOR-DIESELS-IN-ORIGINAL-PACKAGE/303620173805?_
not sure if it goes on steam or diesel locomotives If anyone has any info on this please tell me thanks!
MADORATOR TOPTRAIN; tHE LINK AS YOU POSTED IT WAS CAUSING DESPLAY PROBLEMS. i SHORTENED THE LINK TO IT ORIGINAL FORM . iTESTED AND IT WORKS WITHOUT THE 6 LINES OF BALLONY.

| No idea. Never seen it before. I was thinking it could possibly have been one of those athearn plows, but this one is in Tyco packaging. Very interesting.

It looks like the tab and screw on the plow would attach to the Mantua F7 in place of the front coupler.

I got one of those in a junk lot, still in the package.
I've always assumed it would replace the cowcatcher on a Tyco/Mantua steamer. With the bar in back of it, I don't think it would fit a F7 unless you modified the pilot.

Most interesting find. I haven't the slightest idea....

| One way to see is to try it. I'll try to check it out this week and see if it fits.
