The boiler is not the standard straight boiler found on most moguls and is a little thicker. When plowing snow it is more about how fast you dare to hit it each time.
Wet heavy snow is usually a pain to shovel or plow, but that looks like a lot of fun! I'm actually looking into building a 1.5" steam engine. Can you tell me what the typical operating pressure of one is?
The double-header was better. When you reach the magical temperature when the crushed snow refreezes on top of the rail you are done for the day and lucky if the engine can get it self back to the house. Even sand does not help.
That looks so much fun! Trains, snow, scenery! We just don't do stuff like this over in the UK!
Nice layout and really neat to see live steam used as a plow. Never would have thought to do that. Thanks for sharing.
That's great video!!! Loves the sound on that train.
I loved your video,that steamer has a lot of power to do all that. Like the signals as well all lit up. good show.
What a marvolous way to play in the snow! Great stuff.
I'm impressed that everyone but me has managed to restrain the temptation to make crude jokes about the powerful equipement he has between his legs.
That Allen Mogul is powerful! I can't wait to see what an ALCO West 2.5" Scale K-36 or K-37 can do!
This is really neat. The little engine that could, did!
Amazing video and performances of this engine!!!!!
that was pretty cool. This trains reminds me of some I seen in Pennsylvania....in the dutch country area

Really cool it must have been very hard to push the snow off the tracks
Sounds like you could use some operational sanders on that engine! I imagine double headed you pretty well had it covered though. Nice video!
@d7106 The snow plow was made from a 55 gallon oil drum that was attached to a short gondola that is filled with concrete.
Hey there Robbie! Skeet here. Just checking Erin's blog and saw the video. Nice work...
You had me fooled. I had no idea of scale till the middle of the video.
He's right. You need a rotary.
Should had someone running a pusher! Nice machine!
great plow!!!
you should build a live steam rotary
That guy is huge!
Wow...it'd be neat to see this... especially with it being so close to me...
deeper than my pockets. Nice Stuff !!!
I JUST TRIPPED THE FUCK OUT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A TRAIN. UNBELIEVABLE.
Do you not see the time stamp right in the middle of the video that starts at 1:51 and goes backwards to 1:44 throughout the course of the video???

Excellent almost how of my garden railway.
Very nice!
I really enjoyed that
Great Video, who's RR is this? I can't place it covered in snow! Pat

33 dislikes came from CSX.
Yep.
Wheres the snow plough made?
pretty cool
time to get a big-boy out there to plow lol
why is the time going backwards?
very nice
All I can say is "That is so outstanding" a rotary plower would be cool. Do not know if they make one for your scale.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ...
that's realy nice
I want one !!
Yeah that was crazy.
what club this at????
Awsome!
I also tripped out
Maybe you need a rotary plow.
To much time, to much money, way to cool.
hehe next time make a Rotary for deep snow =)
@mikes47jeep yea! i agree, can you b uild one? or you cant? i will accept either way u decide =) at least its a new try! =)
Ok I see it, dosn't say the time goes backward, only the clock, maybe it's a camera setting stop worry.
...what are you smoking?...LOL
my grandfather and i make these to put into people homes. G-Gauge and some ho
amazing but you didn't listen to Nancy Reagan about addictions when she said you should "just say no" lol :) glad you didn't listen to her :)))
