LNER snowploughs

Post by ajb200 »

Good Afternoon, I'm researching the LNER Independant snowploughs . Could anybody supply me with information on these vehicles, series number's, tenders used and where converted. Thank You

You might like to find a copy of David and Claire Williamson's 'Railway Snowploughs in the North East'.
There is an image ...here... with an account of my model of one of the ex-NER Steel Snowploughs.

Most of the NER ploughs were purpose built, and were not conversions of locomotive tenders.

If it is of any interest the LNER (Southern Area) had snow ploughs based at:-

Kings Cross, Grantham, Colwick, Ardsley, Mexborough, Stavely, Sheffield, Gorton (two ploughs), Woodford & Hinton, Lincoln, Immingham, Stratford, March, Norwich Thorpre and Melton Constable.

This info is detailed in their Nov 1947 Sectional Appendix.
