Garden Trains: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

The first snow of 2007 has hit Idaho and the first thing you do is grab a train and plow some snow. Check on this 1:29 scale garden train on my garden railway. (Use the code: YOUTUBE to get $10.00 off your membership.)

That's awesome!! I take it as you train is battery powered.

[gardentrains]

Nope, on this run we were track powered.

[pwhite73]

Really, WOW!! Some of my dad's old work buddies have G scale and they use the rechargable batteries, and I have to admit that I am impressed that the train didn't short or anything with all that snow! That's amazing, so how do you keep these engines (their contacts and power pick-up) from being affected by the weather?

[gardentrains]

I just make sure to dry everything off real well when I am done.

[drglinski]

There are rails under there?

[gardentrains]

Yep there is rails under there.

Moments later a crackle can be heard from the dispatchers radio: "Dispatch, 2588, We're having difficulties at milepost 25.5.... We're gonna need at least 4 more units,, Over."

LOL.

Back up and push through a little more, just like the real railroads do it. Plow cut looks like a real railroad too.

I think this is a rotary plow situation, fella!

[MachetePanda]

My Uncle has the same kind of setup. I heard your plow derail. He uses a bunch of iron weights and 2 engines for the snow. Awesome video... thanks for sharing!

i dont know why but the beginning ( not the credits) reminded me of the 1985 jon voight runaway train movie because of the snow and the cold backround 0_o

@gardentrains isn't more harder and expensive to use track power then battery power?

[NationalCrafter]

thumbs up if you see the creeper face on the left snow bank. at 2:32

[chuckusa1957]

[flippy941]

[jesusrules1011]

@rockerzac99 i dont think that would help much exept for melting some snow.

[rockerzac99]

the plows should be heated, wouldnt that keep you from getting stuck?
