Anyone have an MTH Rotary Snow Plow?

There is a switch for the rotor motor.

I have the Pennsylvania model from the original run from 1998 and it does have an On/Off switch for the rotary blades.  The headlight is also lighted.

Mine has a headlight and a switch as well.

I have a C&NW and it has a headlight, interior light, and an ON/OFF switch on the bottom.

RAILKING ROTARY SNOWPLOW

Here is the RailKing 30-2123 rotary snowplow.

Features

• Metal Wheels and Axles
• Die-Cast 4-Wheel Trucks
• Operating Die-Cast Metal Couplers
• Colorful, Attractive Paint Schemes
• Decorative Brake Wheels
• Fast-Angle Wheel Sets
• Needle-Point Axles
• Intricately Detailed Durable ABS Body
• Operating Interior Lighting
• Motorized Spinning Rotary Blade
• Unit Measures:12” x 2 3/8” x 3 3/4”
• Operates On O-27 Curves

My plan is to install a spare electronic reverse board to operate the motor for the rotary blade (on/off).

I have the D&RGW unit posted above.

It has the switch, and the headlight works. (you can see the wire to it in the above photo)

The deflector board above the rotary can be rocked to throw the snow to either side same as the real one.

Check out this recent thread on a mod for that snowplow....

Now, if you could get it throwing snow...  I've thought of a smoke generator to simulate snow, that might be an interesting effect.

Kinda.

I ended up buying mine a year ago.  Although I tested it, I have not used it.  The rotary on my PRR version is all Tuscan red, which makes it almost impossible to see that it is spinning.  If anyone is interested in one, I recommended a version in which MTH painted the rotary in two different colors.

I have the GN version, and like it very much.
