Looks like Accucraft should offer a sanding option.

In spite of the excessive slipping, it's still pretty impressive!

Would that be a homemade plow on the front?

@63fenderjazzbass just the stock cow catcher, but the ice buildup on the brass rail was almost 1/4" thick!

Live Steamer?

@RailfanningRulez yes it is, one of the first models accucraft made, serial # 002 but it still runs strong at 28 degrees, later we used a brick to chisle the ice off the brass rails as the uncontrolled slipping is not good

Looks like me - I 'spin' my 'gears' and get nowhere! LOL!

I could only imagine the effects of such ice build-up on a full scale level; I'd say it coped with it quite well. Thanks for sharing. :)

It was a great game with a great ending. Go Broncos. Nice video.

@63fenderjazzbass that would be really pretty awesome to have a sanding mechanism, but agreed that it is very impressive!!

Very cool video - in more ways than one.
