Snow, February 2009 - MHLR Services

[GraniteIsland]

Just caught this excellent video having attempted a similar feat on my garden railway during the 2010 snow - great filming and good use of that snow plough!

[DolwyddelanLightRail]

Really nice vid, I would love to do something like this, but where I am, it either snows and doesn't lay, or becomes 4 foot deep!

[omnibus360]

make an elevated railway at 3'9"

[omnibus360]

lol :D

What makes the snowplough?>

[ColumbineMHLR]

Two pieces of wood, with a cross brace inbetween to go against the buffer so it can hook on with chain.

[bingban]

Just the right atmosphere picking up the steam effort and the curl of the discarded snow well done!

[ColumbineMHLR]

OK I will when I've got the time to.

[SillyBillyFR]

It looks just as good in the snow, and you can't tell the halt building is all one colour!!

Nice one.

[ColumbineMHLR]

"and you can't tell the halt building is all one colour!!"

Shut up Will, in my climate here everything just disintegrates! So paint wont last long!

[SillyBillyFR]

Sorry, I forgot you were in the Caribbean!

[PTLRcecil]

Nice vid mate. Like the music. And your snowplough has just inspired me to build my own. 5 star

[sparkygl0s]

Why can't railtrack manage to do this?

[ColumbineMHLR]

Because of 'Elf n Safety... gone barking mad...

[Maesfforddrailway]

Nice one Peter, Although you should have used the Fowler, more grunt!

[ColumbineMHLR]

well.... More wheels to come off and not quite as heavy surprisingly - Accucraft seem to be made much more substantially!

[theyard08]

that is really good peter it did very well

[northdownsrailway]

Great Video Peter,

Edrigs have always seem to have done well in the snow, especially coal fired ones! They just seem to keep going whatever you chuck at them!

Harry.

[ColumbineMHLR]

Yeah, they sure do, and mine was only on 20psi doing that... I should have got my butane/propane mix out - perhaps I'd get more with that!

[Summerlandsteam]

Excellent Peter - the real thing! You were a lot braver man than I was today.....

Cheers

Chris

[laalrattysbrother]

You finally got snow then! Must say that plough works a treat (much better then SLRmidge's which toppled over first time it hit a curve!). Great video too

[ColumbineMHLR]

Yeah, I thought attaching it to the loco would be better because it has more weight to throw behind it.

[andyg3]

great vid pete!

plow works good

[Easterntractorboy135]

Great Video! How did it go backwards without you press anything?

[ColumbineMHLR]

Easy - radio control

[southtrethevy]

Lovely!
