Both a wedge plow and a rotary… very nice! They look good clearing the line. Make sure you post more videos the next time you get snow! (Edit: I just watched the rest of your videos, enjoyed them too!)

This is a little bigger than most garden railroads, but here is a video of me pushing snow last winter on my 12" gauge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b0S4dghG2o

That’s pretty neat James. I’ve commented on Sean’s before on another forum and his is great. But I’ve never seen snow plowing on 12" gauge.

Here is mine.

Thanks for the video of your plowing, it looks great… Wow, you were clearing some deep snow! If I ever have snow as tall as my train, I think I’ll just stay in the house… [(-D]

Thanks for the comment James. Yep, plowing snow is a lot of fun, but I guess it wouldn’t be if it was as tall as your train.

Plowing on your 12" gauge RR looks really cool (no pun intended). Nice videos.

10" to 18" on the way! [8D]

I’ll have to keep them running for a while!

The problem would be no place to put the snow!

OH Ya that’s why I built the BEAST !!

I’ll try some more vids got a new Batt!!

We are getting clobered with wet snow!
@ 4am we had 6" of heavy snow!
Way to much to plow, but I could use it to make some molds as It compacts real good!!

P.S. we got about 18 Inches of snow today I guess thats it for my railway for a while! My steamers cannot tackle that!

14

I think we got close to 18" on top of the 12" that melted from another 18" we had last week!
More on Saturday.
I’ll have to shovel out the tracks just to let the sun melt the ice on the tracks!

Wow. Pretty impressive. But as some of the comments stated, it can’t be very environmentally friendly(?).

Now all you need is a small fire on board!!! Great video guys!
