Rotary Snow Plow's first run.
Posted by Jerry Barnes on Monday, December 7, 2009 3:05 PM

 Had my first run with the rotary snow plow. I described in in the kitbashing forum. I left it out overnite in the tunnel under the waterfall, blocked off both ends. Plow did well, even with a low battery(it spins the blade). More snow is forecast tonight so I left it out again. Winter can be fun!

It works!!!

Your layout in the snow looks great.  Mine is probably buried under 2 plus feet of snow.  Tell me more about your covered bridge.

Woke up to about 6-8" of snow this morning. Gave it a try but poor traction. Did try the push plow

for the first time also. Note the snow movement in the pix below:

Rex-the covered bridge is described pretty well on my web site, on the Projects page button on

the left side as you scroll down a bit.

Nice web site and nice bridge.  The truss is different from anything I've seen.

 That web site is what I used for some of the references on my build of a covered bridge. Nothing accurate about my build. I looked at some pix, then started cutting wood, made some changes as I went along, but no one should think it is an accurate copy of a real bridge, just made for looks and is pretty strong.
