Oh hey, I was just wondering about the C12 that just came in from Japan literally today. I saw that snowplow set in an auction at some point and compared with the pictures of the auction I had won with it in and noticed the front hook. I can confirm it has a metal motor housing which is activated by the lamp on the runningboard which is connected to a lever underneath, kind of looks similar to the metal switch on the Round-Trip Plarail stuff.

The motor makes a loud, metallic click every so often, by design I hope. It uses the rim drive mechanism with the smaller rubber wheels on the side of the motor that drives the traction tires instead of driving the axle.

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
