….........................--- U.P. N Scale Rotary Snowplow Pt. 4 ---

…....................--- Construction Pt. 2 ---

=========================================

There will be a Bluetooth receiver, an audio amp, DCC to DC rectifier circuit, 12v DC to 5v DC circuit in the tender. The rotary plow will have a speaker (connected to the Bluetooth receiver) and an ESU LokPilot decoder for lighting and motor control (motor for the rotary blade).

A draw-bar was designed with fusion. Originally I was going to make two PCB throwbars and route the speaker current from the tender to the plow through one and the DCC track current through the other. Abandoned that idea and only made one like above and run the wiring just under it. Hardly visible in actual use. The tabs sticking out on the one end (tender end) help to locate the wiring from the tender to the plow.

The 3 axle trucks are Micro-Trains N Scale 1173 Buckeye 6 wheel trucks. Track pickups will be added to the trucks. There will be pickups in the plow and the tender and they will be tied together for hopefully better track pickup.
