In the June 2020 Model Railroader, you’ll learn how Andrew Dodge scratchbuilt an operating rotary snowplow for his Proto: 48 (O fine scale) Colorado Midland layout. Get a demonstration of the model in this short video.
And I thought mine was good because I have rotating blades, this one is out of the ballpark!
Wow! That’s an amazing model! It is finely detailed and operates. Well done, sir.
Beautiful workmanship!! You are a gifted modeler!!
Excellent job building this unusual snowplow….keep up the great work and post some additional videos of your remarkable layout….
Absolutely beautiful model. Very well done. One thing I noticed and I could be wrong, but itn’t the chuff rate much faster than the rotation of the drive rod?
Just wow! Was thinking, wow, nice model… and then he takes the enclosure off!…. and then it all operates! Amazing detail, incredible workmanship, well executed! Bravo!
That’s an outstanding model! It looked great in the magazine and even better in this video. Great job.
Wow, the detail was amazing. I loved to see the model in action. Thank you!
That is an exquisite piece of scratchbuilding. I wanted to get a closer look at the strengthening modifications the article talks about for the lead archbar truck, because the photo in the printed article was reproduced too small to make much of anything out. It is a little clearer on this video but still not totally evident exactly what was done.
Wow, awesome! I really liked the rotating blade feature. 5 star job.
Great model! I am just getting started in Proto:48 so good to see it in operation!
Very nice snowplow!
Very nice. The use of a decoder allows one to move the plow about without having the blade spinning.
Andrew Dodge is true artist his Colorado Midland and the Denver and South Park & Pacific before are masterpieces of modelers art. Considering he builds almost everything I have to take hat off
Wow, beautiful model and gorgeous layout. I would like to see more of the Colorado Midland.
