Well, IT SNOWED! Last week we were reviewing the USA Trains Rotary in 1:22.5 (G) scale. And we said if it snowed we would test in with real Utah snow.
We are adding several modifications to the USA Snow Plow. First, we. are converting it to a rechargeable battery. Better torque and performance, We are also adding a Delton tender rebuilt into a freelance D and RGW rotary tender. Changing couplers and a few other small details.
Anyway, one week ago it laid down our first snowstorm. A wet sloppy mush of slush. It was about 38 degrees and snowing… Anyway, the plow could not bush through that slop. BUT we did get some great photos of operations in the snow on our garden railroad. Including night photos.
By the next morning the new snow was cold and powdery. AND the battery was installed and this time, some success!
Much more to do so we will be adding a third part to the review of the USA Trains Rotary Snowplow!
