Metal Wheel Replacement Size for Athearn BB Rotary Snow Plow

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Having found answers to most of my questions on my rotary snow plow upgrade, my final question is what size of metal wheels, 33" or 36", are most appropriate for the old Athearn snow plow? Cedarwoodron

Gidday, In the April 1953 Model Railroader there are photos, and plans drawn by Berne E. Danielsen of the Lima-Hamilton Rotary Snowplow. The drawings show 33" wheels.

As an aside one of the notations on the drawings refers that “…a model of this plow would have to be almost completely scratchbuilt…”

Aren’t we lucky.[:)]
