there is also the microace D51 steam engine and rotary plow set A0320 which has a motorized snow blower blades! unfortunately its pretty long out of production and the only easy place that has it is newhall these days at an exorbitant cost of $350 over 3x what it came out at a few years back.

you can probably find it in japan at the odder sources, poppendetta and rakuten have them listed for $200 or less.

oh bleep, keiman... that tichy train rotary plow kit was just too damn cheap! had to buy one. figure i can pop in a little motor and make the rotor run like the ma version! im just too much of a mow freak to pass it up!

 

it really looks like a nice little kit and even w/o powering the rotor it would be something nice to sit in the mow yard by itself on a siding. maybe a little scene with a few guys working on it in the off season.

There is a soloution to all problems with out of stock.

 

In the Case of MA they will always rerun an item if it gets enough mail requests.

 

So get out your pens and write a letter in japanese to their adress.

 

Maybe if you could get the whole comunity to do so.
