If you want to support my work, do not buy my sets on AliExpress. Most of the sets on AliExpress have not been authorized or licensed by me and are therefore illegal. Instead order the sets on www.lesdiy.com or www.amazon.com. Just enter the designer name "langemat" and you will find available brick sets. If you're only looking for the instruction file, you can download the available documents directly from www.rebrickable.com.
The “Meiningen” type snowploughs are railway service vehicles that were purchased by the Deutsche Reichsbahn to clear snow and snowdrifts in the track area. The snowploughs are able to clear snow up to 1.50 meters high. 105 snowploughs were built from 1968 to 1981.
The “Meiningen” plough is a one-way snowplough, so it cannot be rotated on the chassis. It does not have its own drive but relies on a push locomotive.
More details about the plough you can read here: LINK (German only)
My MOC represents the variant in simple orange colour scheme. Other colours were light orange and blue. The plough has one magnet coupling at the end for the push locomotive. There is no coupling in front. The plough plate can’t be moved.
MOC stats:
Length: 32.0 studs
Width: 11.1 studs (with plough)
Height: 12.8 studs
Weight: 0.5 grams
Parts: 616
I provide a detailed step-by-step building instruction. At the end of it, you find an overview of all needed parts.
A print-ready sticker sheet is available too (in case the model contains stickers). I provide it in the widely used PDF-format in high-resolution and print-ready.
Furthermore, I provide the parts list in Excel format. This makes it easy to filter out needed parts and create order lists.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damages or injury on parts and humans happen while following my instructions. Everything you do is your responsibility and under your personal risk.
