First run of the rotary snow plow I made. It is based on an Aristo FA1-B unit. I have a RS-3 that helps to push on it. They are track powered. The rotary blade is turned by a 12v drill motor, using an 18v battery to spin it fast. I had to back it up sometimes, when it hit thicker snow, but it made it around my layout fine. We had about an inch or so of pretty dry snow. Stil pix of the rotary build are on my web site. thescrr.com

Thanks, hoping for some more dry snow to try out the new blade and some other things I changed.

Love it Jerry; bet you look forward to each new snow fall....... or do you have a wind simulator to drift it back onto the tracks so you can clear it again.........;-))
