I couldn't get the Windows Player version to work, so I downloaded the Quicktime version. Looks very much the real thing (well it is the real thing, I mean 1/1 scale). Actually I was thinking those were the funniest sounding diseasals I have ever heard. Almost like they were running on.......... Steam?

Nice movie, thanks for posting.

Marty, that is wicked cool ! what was wrong with those deasil horns, did you use a steam sound set?

[Anonymous]

That's awesome! Marty, you've amazed me again!

[johncolley]

The plow and spreader actions were neat. No problems with the Windows version. That steam sounded a lot like old european stuff? Good video. Kudos!

Loved the Engli***rain Whistles, and the reminder to those of us in the north that that four letter word is coming!!!
Will ... quietly awaiting the white blanket!!

[Marty Cozad]

My camera at that time had NO sound to it. The lady who helped me make the tape had copy rights to only steam, so i guess its better than banjo music.
The funnest part is the longer your in this hobby the more you get to try.
NO end in sight of growing.[:p]
Have FUN!!![^]

Wild, wild stuff, this is possibly the absolute, ultimate model railroading experience, there's not a guy out there that isn't drooling at the fun you could have with an outfit like this, this video will probably boost the sales of outdoor MR in the future--great stuff ! ! now all you poor souls who moved south, aren't you sorry you moved tp perpetual sunshine???

I see snow here, anyway. Not as bad as up North, though. I couldn't handle 3 feet of snow in one sitting.

[trainboyH16-44]

I couldn't get the sound, but the sight of a rotary plow flinging snow off the mainline is surely one of the best sights I've seen!
Thank you, I really enjoyed it.

[andrechapelon]

That was fun.

Now all you need is a working Jordan Spreader. [:D]

[railroadyoshi]

nice job Marty

[Javern]

awesome dude two thumbs up

[scubaterry]

Great video. Wish you could get some more close up shots of the snow flying.

Tatans - It is not so much the perpetual sunshine that sucks it's the perpetual Hurricanes! I do miss the winters of upstate NY.

Impressive! I liked the video a lot. Good job! [tup]

[NZRMac]

Good work Marty!! A really effective snow plow.

Ken.

Thanks guys, man even if you don't buy Garden railways mag, when your at the local hobby shop open one up ( Dec issue) and look at the back cover "end of the line" photo of the rotary in action looking up at it on a mountain side.
this winter I want to build a more prototype body for it. Back when I first built it I had no idea that it would really work.
This winter I also want to get better footage with the newer camera and the sound unit in my SD45s.

[Anonymous]

That was definitely impressive! Wish I could do that on my HO trains, but the results would probably be disasterous.

[wctransfer]

BN 6500 was a highhood? Well, chop it , and patch it WC. JK, very nice clip there marty! I love your shots!

Marty,

Very nice clip. I take it you built the rotary from scratch, but what are all those ugly green things? I thought you were a yellow & gray man?

Bob
I like U.P. and BN. I just have more UP
My line is broken up into two main RRs. the High Line is the old GN line taken over by BN. Kinda gives a reason for being.
I'd love to have a BN U-33-C. that was one of my favorite locos way back in the stone age days.[;)]

[joeyegarner]

Great video, ultra cool!!!!!

[aussiesteve]

Very good[swg]
