Bertha has a big battery on-board and is radio-controlled. She is about 25 years old and weighs 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs). She is doing well for her age, isn't she? No wonder you love her.
Yes, it is concrete. Cast the pillars first, then build forms to cast the arches in one cast. The quarry stone pattern is carved when the concrete is still green, about 12 to 24 hours old. Thanks for you appreciation.
What does Bertha weigh ( or is it impolite to ask a lady ) ? Battery, brass chassis, I am guessing 7-8 Kg. ? Or is it more ? Really does a fine job of heavy, wet Vancouver Island snow clearing.
You have met Bertha. She is a crusty old lady, batteries included, and does not mind me telling her weight and age. Your guess is right on. She weights exactly 7.5 kg and she is 25 years old. For an engine that counts triple.
Very nice video! If I’m not mistaken, I recall this same video was previously uploaded with different music. Do you recall the original music? Thank you
You are quite correct. This video was uploaded earlier. The original up-beat music was from a selection of polkas played on an accordeon. I took it down when someone made a copyright claim. I actually liked the first version better. It sounds like you did too. Thanks for remembering.
I do not know of any supplier offering such a plow. This one is scratch-build using brass sheet metal. It is attached in place of the normal front coupler. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you, I was watching your other videos, and how did you make your bridges? And did you make the mountain, or was it part of the yard before the railroad? How did you do it?
The bridges are made from Cedar wood, cut into suitably sized miniature timbers and assembled using Titebond III glue and pins. The viaducts are cast into self-made forms and the surfaces carved to look like quarry stones wile the concrete was still green. Prior to building the railroad the entire backyard was a flat grassy surface. All features, like the pond and all elevations and the rocks were brought in and placed as needed before any rails were installed in accordance to a plan I designed.
Thank you sir.. this is really hypnotic. These are your prized and priceless possession, please take good care of it. Best wishes from Shabbir.
I will. And best wishes to you too
I can't stopping see the video...this is hypnotic...hahahaha... amazing!!
I loved Bertha!!
Cheers!!

That was fun. I would love to see one with deeper snow and a rotary plow 👍
I agree. A rotary plow is in the planning stage. May be this winter. Stay tuned.
That is a beautiful layout
Thank you.
Pure magic.....
That was awesome
Happy you like it.
За окном +35, а тут такая красота.
Это действительно успокаивает. 35 градусов - это слишком много.
Love the layout and video
Actually the layout looks even better in the summer. Have a look at my channel: Trains and More. Thank you for watching and commenting
@@Landsend-Railroad Yes Sir, I think I've seen them all. I subscribed about 2 months ago.
@@chiefofcst Glad you did.
Can we have one if your legendary cab rides of the full circuit again, but in the snow.......?
It's a promise. All we need is a layer of suitable snow. Stay tuned.
Beautiful railway. Love all the viaducts and bridges. The Landwasser Viaduct is amazing - how did you built it - concrete?
Yes, it is concrete. Cast the pillars first, then build forms to cast the arches in one cast. The quarry stone pattern is carved when the concrete is still green, about 12 to 24 hours old.
Thanks for you appreciation.
The little engine that could! And through the heavy wet stuff, too.
Yes, it is a tough little engine. Fluffy powder snow would be easy in comparison.
Nice garden railway👍
Bei den Temperaturen in München tut das Video richtig gut.
Da habe ich das Video also zur richtigen Zeit hochgeladen. Es freut mich, dass es etwas Abkuehlung bietet.

Great video!
Is all the vegetation live?
I most definately is!
చాలా బాగుంది

Great video! Is the plow an attachment or fixed to the locomotive? If its an attachment, what company offers it?
I do not know of any supplier offering such a plow. This one is scratch-build using brass sheet metal. It is attached in place of the normal front coupler. Thank you for your comment.
@@Landsend-Railroad Well, great job on it. Looks like it was factory made.
Hola: Muy real. Hasta me gustaría ser del tamaño de la escala para ir conduciendo la locomotora barrenieve.
Hola: Tendrías que reducir en un factor de 1 a 22,5. Estoy de acuerdo en que sería divertido.
Le quedó muy bien el trabajo. 💯
@@Francisco8020 Sí, Bertha hace un buen trabajo.
Do the rails get dirty from the snow, or is the engine battery powered?
The snow does not impede the power pick-up from the rails. However, this engine is battery powered and radio controlled.
Thank you, I was watching your other videos, and how did you make your bridges? And did you make the mountain, or was it part of the yard before the railroad? How did you do it?

How did you build the mountain, piling rocks and dirt?
@@kennycastro Pretty much. Yes. With some help of the neighbors Bobcat.
Wow, Ihr hattet Schnee?
Das kommt nicht oft, aber ab und an schon mal vor.
Trains and More in Hamburg haben wir derzeit heiße 30 grad seit Tagen. Puuh
@@HoboHeaven Da kommt wohl das Video gerade recht um etwas Abkuehlung zu bringen.
Trains and More ja, sehr angenehm 😉
