Faszination Pistenraupen (Fascination Snow Groomers)
Radio controlled vehicles for winter
The experienced author Klaus Bergdolt does not ignore any detail around the topic "snow groomers" and extensively describes the special problems of harsh winter operations. He presents a lot of different vehicle types, and the scale ranges from the Dickie Snow King in 1:16 up to a heavy self built model in 1:8. An impressive selection of pictures and several drawings illustrate the easy to read text. Of course attached equipment and commercially available products are covered as well. From different snow blade variants, equipment on the loading platform, exclusive tail attachments, up to two fully functioning snow blowers, no question is left open in this book. An absolute novelty are the short stories "In real live": six entertaining experience reports in which the reader gets to know the fascination of a winter model from so far unknown perspectives.
