I am looking for suggestions on how to build the cow-catcher/plough for my
6-wide Amercian 4-4-0 Steam locomotive.
The plough should be 6 wide and all black.
It should attach to the underside of a 1 x 4 area of studs (or to the top
of the same 1 x 4 plate thick studs if thats better looking).
It should be no bigger than 2 bricks tall (any taller and it will be too
tall and hit the track)

Any ideas are appreciated

Assume I have black slopes in all sizes but dont have any wierd bits.

(...) I used 2x4 plates with some hinges on my Adventurer's train. It seems to work pretty well. I have an LDraw file at home that I can send you if you're interested. This is probably the best pic of the setup that I used: (URL) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)
