@VilquinProductions Yes all my locomotives are radio controlled using a system called Locolinc. They are also battery powered. Getting this all crammed into the locos is a bit of a challenge but not difficult. There is plenty of room in most large scale diesels. I would be happy to help if you want to tackle the job.
@Steve2223 Thanks. Is Locolinc the system that Aristocraft itself makes or another manufacturer? I'm planning on building a garden railroad myself and I figure that radio-control would enable me to do switching and not having to put up with electrical breaks and so forth with track power (I head the Cedar Creek Central garden railroad and I have issues there with the usual power-pack system). Thanks for the cooperation, I appreciate it.
Is there any information you can give me on the FA-1's snowplow? Also, I still have the Garden Railways Issue where Gopher Canyon Line was the cover shot. It was the first issue of GR I ever read.
The track is #1 gauge (45mm between the rails). Scale of the trains 1:29. Cars are about the size of a large loaf of bread. Very popular for garden railroading. Available through most model RR shops and the I-net.
Is your motive power all radio-controlled (since they're mainly Aristocraft), and if so, how hard was it to install in the locomotives?

I don't remember where I got the snow plow, but I have several of them. Would be happy to send you one. Let me know where to send it.

Thank you so much, My hubby will love it when his U25B and my FA-1 have snowplows on them around the christmas tree ^^

Lovely video, great railway, and a very informative commentary. I'm not normally a fan of G scale, but that looks great.
