That's great!
Dick, I thing it deserves more than just a few words and a tiny side-view picture.
I suggest you add a page with a description, features, a few action pictures, a video with sound, etc.
Or just link to your WIP thread here.

That might bring you a few more sales.

While popping around with the ctrl-= combo, the Mikado disappeared for a while. It came back after jumping into the main cab...???

Overall, very nicely done.

It probably jumped through a time warp. I have not seen that happen yet!!! Where you running it from the plough using the ai Mike or from the drivable Mike?

Does the rotary have the ability to change road names or is it only UP?

It is just like all my steam locos, with the ability to change the road names and numbers though I haven't included the files to do so.

It was the AI version... the smoke and all continued to work, just the main model went gang aft gagly.

I got myself into SPMW 208 a few weeks ago and got tons of pics inside and out. Including the engine compartment with the traction motors that drive the rotary head.
This one is built by Alco.

I have a whole stack of photos of that particular rotary plow Dick. Not just those. They are all angles except the top. They include all angles of the cab, Multiple Unit conections between the FB unit and plow etc.
