In real life there was tons of snow when i was on the Amtrak California Zephyr and I actually saw the snowplow come by with lots of equipment and machinery and we had to stay stopped on the train for a good 45 minutes.
Nice video. Up here in Canada our "first" snowfalls can be pretty menacing. Often a lot in the first shot. Can hardly wait to get my garden railroad built here at our new place. Your video helps me to think about how to build in order to facilitate our snowfalls! Thanks eh...Brian.
Just found this video, and man that was so cool !! I was sure you were battery, track power very nice! That's a lot of weight being pushed when you think about it, great tractive effort here. Were all the units powered? I guess so? Thanks for the video!
I thought that at first to, But since they are made for indoors/outdoors they can get wet. The eletric circuts are sealed where water normal can't get to it.

That is fantastic video, but for the record, what is the plow's ballasted weight; and are all loco's powered, and their weight? I'm sure it would take some great effort to run a plow train like that!
The traction is SUPER IMPRESSIVE. Keeping the plow on the tracks is a real accomplishment. Track work also has to dialed in. I had a large G layout here in SoCal but never had to contend with snow. Great stuff!
Im in the Denver area. I just pile rocks into the gondola section of the plow. The plow has ball bearing wheels to handle the load. It can bust through drifts up to 9 inches or so. But for sustained plowing 6 inches in the tallest I like to do.
Right now in canada you would use a blade to cut the grass insted of a plow and it is only the start of march
