As seen at Trains, a lot of people recognized it from the T.V. Show Highway Thru Hell. A rotator is the heaviest tow truck on the road, in fact it is so heavy its actual towing capacity is very limited. Its main function is a highly mobile boom lift arm that can lift whole wrecks up vertically. Some things I will add in the future are a 3rd winch line on the deck, visors for the front windscreen and getting more parts in yellow for the boom arm. I hope to have the whole heavy rescue fleet (HR 52 and HR- 120) built in time for Surrey 2015

Re: Jamie Davis Western Star Rotator Tow Truck
Very impressive, Tim! How long did it take you to plan and build this?
Re: Jamie Davis Western Star Rotator Tow Truck
Thanks again everyone. Diana, I spent fair amount of time researching the truck and LEGO tow trucks on flickr etc. this year. The build took two nights before Trains, and I am still actively working on it and I just ordered more parts for it and another wrecker from the fleet. Those two nights I just built with clips from youtube and full episodes playing to get inspiration and it was a lot of fun.
There are only two more episodes this season and they have already started filming Season 4.
