You may recall my adaptation of Ronny Generali Works Snow Plough (see http://www.009society.com/forum/index.php?topic=3631.0 (http://www.009society.com/forum/index.php?topic=3631.0) )
Well, I have made a more extreme version...
I ordered some items from a couple of wargaming suppliers. In the event, I have used items only from Heresy Miniatures, as the items from the other supplier did not arrive in time. One of these is the "Hellhound" head used for the battering ram. I carefully drilled out the eyes with a 0.95mm drill and inserted two SMD LEDs so that the eyes would be able to light up.

Also used is a horned skull from the "Goblin Archer Command". This goes on top of the Headlight.

For the internals, I decided to go for a vertical boiler this time; this would give me more space inside the body. The boiler is filled with Liquid Gravity and there is some sheet lead (just visible) on the floor forward of the boiler.

I have replaced the two dwarfs, as they looked a bit small, with a couple of "Snot Goblins" from Langley. They look much more in proportion..

Well done, Hugh, well done.

Very good. They look as if they will make short shrift of any fare dodgers or trespassers on the line!

Not to mention the snow.
