Someone on the RS.com facebookpage has posted the link to the free ZZA-Snowplough with activscripttechnology from Justtrains.
So here is the link:http://www.justtrains.net/zzasnowplough.asp?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=zzasnowplough-text&utm_campaign=april2010
Just download and run the installer. As the plough is actually a british one, it hasn't the right couplers, but it's no problem.
I just placed it in front of my Dash9 and then pushed it and it works. You could also go to the menu of Railworks and enable the option "coupling override", than the US and other couplers will work together.
A great plough and really needed at the moment. We in Europe are jittering under heavy snow right now. !*salute*!

It's not exactly new (see the date in the url) but thanks for reposting. Lost mine on some time ago through reinstalling RW and the newsletter where it was included is long in binary heaven. It's a real cool model and while the readme says you can't drive faster than 45mph with it, it is possible. The snow effect gets a bit weird with more than 60 but it works.

I don't think you would be too popular in built up areas at that speed! Instant snowdrifts over everyone and everything - LOL!

There is more to that video... that same consist eventually gets stuck, and needs (if I remember correctly) 5 more engines to pull it out.
