Hey everyone! Today I present to you: My RC tracked snowplow! For propulsion, I used 1 Spike Prime M-Motor to drive each tread with a 1.67:1 gear ratio. This enables it to make a perfect zero point turn. The two Control+ M-Motors seen above control the lifting and angling of the plow blade via two large linear actuators. The plow is easily removed by pulling the red 6L axle out of the front teal axle-pin connectors in the center of the plow and disconnecting the 5L black liftarm connected to the linear actuator that controls the blade angle. The hub is accessible by lifting the roof, and the blade can be easily stored inside the vehicle: Here are photos of the code and control panel: I did not make instructions for this, BUT I am planning on making a similar vehicle: a tracked RC offroader. Although it will be similar, there will be some major differences and upgrades. I DO plan to make instructions for that.

This model is the last of the original Museum of Transportation vehicles I have planned on buying, but that doesn't mean I won't have more in the future... who knows what may happen. This model will be built at some point in 2019. Real World Background: Here is Union Pacific rotary snowplow 900081. It was designed and built in 1966 at the UP Omaha shops, and is the heaviest rotary snowplow ever built, weighing 367,400 lbs. Three or four diesel locomotives, which were controlled from the non-propelled plow, pushed it at four to six mph. The snowplow is powered by an EMD 16 cylinder 3,000hp turbocharged diesel engine that drives an electric generator, which provides power to turn the 12’ rotary blades at up to 150 rpm. A steam generator provided heat to the cab and can thaw out the blades if they became frozen. This rotary snowplow was last used in Green River, WY in the mid 1980’s, and it was donated to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri in 1994 by the Union Pacific, where it is still seen today. LEGO model notes: I was inspired by Dr_Spock_888 and his rotary snowplow to build my own way back in 2014. Needless to say, it the originally 8 wide model didn't come out quite right at that time, so I put it aside for quite some time. I just recently remade the model into a 6 wide body with a 10 wide blade section, and have have smoothed out the roof studs with tiles. As before, the words "UP" (the initials of the former owner Union Pacific) should go on the studs towards the middle, while "900081" should go on the studs in the center in printed 1 x 1 tiles, right below the two UP tiles. The blades are actually part of Dr_Spock_888's design, but mine do not move with the train like his... mine are not connected to the wheels on the track, and do not move unless you spin them with your hand.

Hi Folks . After a break of few years (study, first job and more ...) I'm trying to come back slowely to the Lego sphere ... And to celebrate this come back, I'm happy today to show you my first LDD Moc : A 60018 set based Snowplow . After have downloaded the official set made on LDD on theses forum (what a list, a lot of set!), I've modified 90% of the truck, to obtain what I want. The spreader platform behind the cab is removable to put a other platform (skip, etc...) For the moment we can say that 90% of the MOC is done. I want to improve the front snow blade who's not exactly the same as in real life (for the moment of course) . When the last modifications will be done, the MOC will go in "production" by buying the bricklist shown by LDD to create it. You can see some pictures below, I hope you will enjoy them and sorry if I've made some mistake, my English is not perfect I will post updates regarding this moc just below this message, keep an eye here in the future
