I was considering getting a large Scale Rail Truck, but just read the threads from last month regarding their gears.

Are the gears for the Rail Truck as bad in this scale as the On30 ones were?

I've had one for about seven years with no troubles.  The only "special" thing I did was follow the Bachmann Railtruck Tips > http://girr.org/girr/tips/tips8/bachmann_railtruck_tips.html < on George Schreyer's wonderful site regarding the Gearbox Fix.

Convenient that the correct screws are included with the snow plow.  :P

Do the gear box screws hold the plow in place okay?

Don't know about the plow since it's always spring on my indoor railroad.    ;)
