Wrong Color Front Plow | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BigMike88OGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Just received MTH 20-20745-1 Norfolk Southern SD70M-2. Inside the box they sent me a white plow instead of black. Not a big deal as I had spare parts to accommodate. A little bit funny and had to share. I'll give it a shot of flat black and see how it'll match up.

Out of all of the engines I own this one has my favorite horn, almost has a quilling effect to it. Overall probably has my most favorite soundset; startup effects, idle, shutdown effects.

Considering how much "safety" white is on the front of the current NS engines, are we sure that the plow is not supposed to be white?

I doubt it, but I don't actually know. Might look sort of...formal...maybe a black bow tie on the coupler...?
