The double-header was better. When you reach the magical temperature when the crushed snow refreezes on top of the rail you are done for the day and lucky if the engine can get it self back to the house. Even sand does not help.
The guy in this video at one point had his locomotive set to the max allowed boiler pressure as set by the boiler inspector which is 150 PSI. however his first pop off valve (designed to keep the boiler from exploding) goes off about 145 but the second at 150 drops the pressure to a safer pressure. A lot of people run their locomotives at about 120-125 psi as that is adequate pressure but by having a higher pressure you don't have to worry about the consumption of steam when you are running.
The boiler is not the standard straight boiler found on most moguls and is a little thicker. When plowing snow it is more about how fast you dare to hit it each time.
wow i bet that was fun. Great to see the locomotive pushed to its limits. working as hard as it can

@d7106 The snow plow was made from a 55 gallon oil drum that was attached to a short gondola that is filled with concrete.

Wet heavy snow is usually a pain to shovel or plow, but that looks like a lot of fun!
I'm actually looking into building a 1.5" steam engine. Can you tell me what the typical operating pressure of one is?
