Couldn’t you wire the blades to a function output and turn them on and off??? Then on “clear” track you could them off (or idling…).

The Walther’s plow is charming. The belt drive is just bloody USELESS, and snaps about three hours into use. No, I don’t mean USING it for three hours, I mean three hours after you take the plow out of the package! And no, I’ve tried rubber bands. The motor is quite good, why didn’t they just connect the blades to the motor with a couple of gears? I’m in the process of trying to do that now, but since the little devil’s only used for show, most of the time, do I really WANT to do all that extra work?
Right now, it’s just parked on a yard track with my other MW equipment. Kind of an expensive static display, I think.
But I have to admit that it’s kind of cute.
