Snowfighting Locos?

Are any snowfighting locomotives available anywhere? Snowfighting locos have ice scrapers, special plows, and modified windows to aid snow removal. An SD40-2 that uses JR's model would be especially helpful, but any locos will do. Also, are there plows anywhere w/ .tga texture files? I want to reskin a plow on the DLS, but it has .bmp files and I get get Images2TGA as I have a Mac.

While I've got no idea for snow locos, I had the same issue with the .bmp texture files when I was reskinning the Little Joe. I was able to open the .bmp in GIMP, then when I exported I saved it as a .tga file. In the mini-config for that specific file I switched the file name to be a .tga, not a .bmp. Worked for me pretty well.

Thank you so much! I like your new banner.
Also I figured out how to make a really cool snow scene:

Dragonharh also made some snow plows, which are placed in front of locomotives to buck the snow.

Also look for Jordan Spreaders. These are neat looking contraptions that will do the same.
