JULL SNOW EXCAVATOR

With winter in full swing, I have been thinking about the battles to
keep the NG RR's open during snow, and about the famous competition
between Orange Jull's Snow Excavator and the Leslie Rotary on the DSP&P.

The Jull is a scary looking thing, seemingly right out of an H.G. Wells story.
IIRC, other RR's did have better success using them than the South Park did.
Seems it was over-size for the light-weight 3-ft gauge trucks put under it
temporarily for the South Park expedition, and kept derailing.

Do any of these survive today anywhere in the world?

Has anyone ever built any models of this machine?

Fun stuff.
