- Video of Build Pics • G Scale Snow Thrower B...
This is a video of the first outdoor test run of my custom made metal G scale Snow Blower. See my other videos for the build. The blocks ontop of the locos are lead weights to help with traction. The blower blade is variable speed via remote control. Will need heavier pushers for smoother running around curves.
So cool. And the soundtrack of the real locos really takes it to the next level. I'm sure the engineer didn't appreciate it when he saw you break out that shovel so you could make him do it all over again.
I was watching video of an actual rotary and wondered if a scale model would even work and what could be used for artificial snow to make it work. I was actually wondering what you used for a couple of minutes until I realized in amazement that it was real snow on your deck. Amazing.
Now you just need a track layout that will keep your driveway clear.
those old 110 volt pc fans
To answer a few questions, this was just a test I wanted to do quickly to see how well the blower could handle the snow. I simply set down the track on our deck before expected snow accumulation. Blower worked better then expected, issues were due to the tight curves which caused loss of traction on the drive wheels of the pushers. Lead weights were added to increase grip. Future runs will be on a layout with more prototypical curves and heavier pushers. Blower should run without too much pausing then. Thanks for watching.
That thing is a beast.
Absolutely wicked!

Damage Inc / Dam Good Job. I'M trying to get my Layouts started Outdoor in G1:20.3 and HO/ HO,N3 for the back of my work shop . for my G I have just under 4.76 acres and not only that it's flat as all daylights. I have to build my own terrain including mountain range using old tires as a base. where I live we get light to heavy snowfall. but otherwise Dam Good JOB !!!!!!!
Damage Inc Weren't you afraid that you'd burn out the motors? That's a lot of stress to put on a model train.
Love the winter scene with the outdoor railroads!
Ok i have to admit, i thought this was gonna be lame when i clicked on it and it is so BADASS! NICE work!!!
I was literally searching for this, to see if it existed, after watching another fellow's g-scale wing plow in action in his garden. This is wonderful work!
Now that’s something I need to have. Rotary snow plows are amazing
And I thought I had seen it all! Great.
That’s an awesome piece of kit , can’t believe how well it works
Unfortunately the material properties of snow do not scale down.
Nor do the material properties of the train. 1:22.5 scale difference in size but most certainly not in weight for example or the difference between one being made mostly of steel to one being made mostly of plastic.
Bushrod Rust Johnson Neither does gravity, the atmosphere, atoms, or physics.
He needs fake snow!
Considering that, the performance is absolutely phenomenal. Cheers!
@@Wildstar40 Christ,it STILL blew the snow just about as good as the prototype would have.
If you go by scale that was one hell of a snow storm!
probably in the Rockies

+tyler bonser...easy there Lloyd Christmas...
Try Donner Summit, Calif.
But with giant snowflakes the size of your first.
This is the coolest model I have seen in a LONG time ! I also just got done watching about 20 videos of real rotary plows at work , so seeing a model run like this is just jaw dropping :) shared it on FB even , Great job & thanks for the upload . Big fan in Michigan , and as for the folks questioning - the real ones bog down the same way .
5:40, so THATs how snow falls!! God's snow shovel!
holy crap ive been lied to
Yes after you've worked hard and done your job there is ALWAYS some jerk around with a snow shovel!
"Honey, the patio's clear"!
Nicely done that was some seriously deep scale snow. Though I doubt the snow team thanked the shovel god for making them do it all over again. Certainly the blower looks scarily powerful, as you said the curves were the bigger problem.
An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Ready for Donner Pass. Thank you for your effort, I'm impressed!
Awesome training, absolutely first-rate equipment. Cheers!
When you don't even own model trains but still watching this video. RUclips gods be blessing you.
I love it did a lot of work to my friend property in Chicago ! G scale size ! He was president of the Chicago train society his place was amazing ! Wish he would do videos you would love his set up
I've watched this video numerous times and I still like it. Happy railroading!!!
I can actually see it sucking the snow in GREAT JOB very fun video I’ve seen RC trucks with 3D printed parts for a snow blower but this is by far much cooler keep up the mad scientist inventions 👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That is really neat. That plow is super and works so well. Great video.Thanks.
If other real life rotary snow plows performed like this one, it would throw snow 1,000 yards away from itself. You need to get a hold of the railroads and tell them that they've been building them wrong the entire time haha. Excellent work.
Nice, its look like the real world,, thanks from denmark, a littel sister to the other scandinavian contryes ;))
My english is so bad, I hope you can understand the meaning :(
I could spend a few hours making it snow for the train!
compared to my Danish (= zero) your English is perfect!!!
That was excellent ! Great talent in making this rolling stock. Most enjoyable.
I bow down to you Sir. Beautiful work. You are the man! That thing is awesome.
Honey, what do you want for Christmas?
Snow!
This is actually really fucking cool. Goodjob.
Thx

Better final act than SnowPiecer
No problems with overheating. I used a 2:1 gear reduction unit behind the blade to manage torque and load on the blade. It will run full speed until battery dies but I vary the speed for snow depth.
Why battery powered? and how are the blades controlled?
+Teapot Live Battery doesnt rely on track contacts so no interruptions. A simple rc car speed controller and rx/ tx set up controls the blade. Remove the spring on the throttle control so you dont need to hold it at a certain spot.
Ahh I see, makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the reply. Awesome video
So it’s not a fan from a computer tower?
I never would of believed it but it really works!! At first I thought it was fake snow or that it just kinda plowed thru it but it was like the real thing. Truly amazed!! Awesome Job..Love the sound of those engines running and especially that snow remover.
5☆'s out of 5☆'s

That's just to cool for school lol.the snow blower wow!!!
this is the most grandpa thing ive ever seen and i've watched bass masters. :3
The little snow blower that could.
Nice work man!
Bumble,the abominable snow monster strikes again and again...feel sorry for your next door neighbor.awesome train.
That rotary snowplow is slicker than snot on a doorknob!
Dafaq dose that mean?!???
@@ktrainBFSIt means it’s very impressive
So cool!
This makes me want a garden railroad. :)
Best winter video of the year. Good work Sir.
And if you lay track all over your driveway you can really impress your neighbours
That's absolutely amazing I loved it
Model railroading at its finest! 🚂

Mi mind ist blowen
This is sweet and unique, who would have ever thought of this.
ONE OF THE BEST RAILROAD MECHANICAL JOBS I DID WAS DOING EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK ON THE LONE SNOW BLOWER THEY HAD!!
Engineer's all "God dammit where is it all coming from! I just plowed here!"
Haha
OMG, lights, camera, ACTION! Beautifully done audio, lighting, and detail. Congrats and keep'um on the rails. - grrtrainman.
This is amazing. Would love to see more.
What an excellent video of what G-scale modeling is all about. Congrats on a job well done. Can't do this in HO !!!
Alot of work there. Cheers!. What the kiddies forget is that it isn't scale snow,,,the crystals are waaay to big. Sounds like it could knarl thru hardwood when set on kill rpm's. Nice work.
so freaking awesome. wish I had this after our blizzard.
My freand Richard frantz from greensburg pa would love this
Thats awesome! Love the sounds and everything!
really awesome how it works like in real life, thanks for sharing this video!
What else can I say... You guys are amazing.
That's the most awesome scale train video I have ever seen.
Well done!
Man this is something how cool is this snow blower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice job....need one for my driveway......7/25/17.
The only issue I have with this is oddly enough not to do with the snow but the rate of the flash of the marker lights. Way to fast for prototypical operations. The little snow blower did great though! Thanks for sharing.
Whoa, that takes some planning and skills!
Build pictures in description. Thanks
Your snow plow is so cool
This takes garden railroading to a higher level!
Real impressive with lights and all.
Looks like you took a g scale caboose and added a rotary in front. Very cool
Admitted, that looked pretty impressive.
That's some grate models, the rotary is very cool indeed.
That was way to fricken cool !!! I might have to get a semi trailer load of snow and have it shipped South to do this.
The ultimate model train flex.
NICE!! That is very cool! I've never seen that on a train set for your home. I didn't even know they made stuff like that. Thanks for sharing. I'm impressed!
David Kelly he made it himself.
That is absolutely wicked!!
unbelievably awesome.
That snow plow is a beast! 😃
That is awesome. Love seeing this.
That is very cool plow it's really doing great job. plowing the snow. I love it
Shit back when I was little they didn't have these fancy set ups but I like what I had. I had one of the old styles that smoked. Don't see them anymore. Wish I would have kept it to give to my kids.
This does spark joy
Brilliant!!!
Try using a speed controller that has helicopter mode. It will keep the rpm constant regardless of load.
Fantastic and a joy to view. Thank you
someone went and added more snow, lol. I would!!cool video rather mesmerising
Good job fantastic movement's amazing seen
kool video...ive never seen a snowblower turn 181,500 rpm before...........
charlotte quillen it’s 7500 rpm actually..
Talk about looking scale, Beautiful man!
Home made? Very creative. Good job!
You can purchase them. They're made by USA Trains, there about $500 bucks. I had some friends chip in for one for me when I moved from CA to MN. It's pretty cool. A simple search "g scale rotary snow plow" will bring up some links and pics.
Phenomenal performance 👍🏻 love the video
looks so real
That's simply Impressive!!!
I love it. Unbelievable.
i model in ho scale... but this is why i would like to model in a larger scale! thats awesome!
***** XD
It really works. That's cool. I'd like to see a real one in action, but even when I worked for two winters at Stevens Pass Ski Area northeast of Seattle, on the former Great Northern line, I never did get to see the railroad send one out even though they kept a snow dozer at Skykomish.
That thing is brilliant. And a little bit scary!
See my other vids and you'll find one with pictures of this being built. This is not the USA trains rotary. I just used a USA trains caboose for the car.
where do i find them
He made it :P
neet
Damage Inc do you have signal lights on your railroad?
Way cool! You are the king...
"N" scaler.
Nice video and a thumbs up.
Wow, that thing goes!
Nicely done
Looks great.
My word that train are really awesome. You made it by yourself? wow.
I think it was outstanding for a first effort. Considering that it was up against scale snowfall that was 2/3 of the height of the rotary. Scale 8 to 12 feet? Even videos of real rotary plows struggled through very deep snow.
Very realistic. I love it!
Makes me want to come and play ,too.
