Aikenknees Railway #58 - Snow Plow Extra January 14 2018

Aikeknees Railway's first train of the new year. With the temperature rising to a balmy -10, the sun is shining and it's time to open up all the lines. Running a "Plow Extra" just seems like the thing to do.

It's really unreasonable how happy these garden trains in the snow make me! Best one I've seen yet!

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Thanks. 👍

@@AikenkneesRailwayyour railway is so classic in ho I don’t know why. but anyways your railway is cute

[@jimmyb1559]

This is a man who definitely loves trains. Great job.

[@vincentxie3090]

I love how the trains get good at plowing on the snow.

[@paulsmith5398]

Awwwwww, Yeah!! My grandsons would love this in their yard, their Dad is an engineer for CN!! And he has plowed the drifts at 55 mph, BAM, BOOM!!

[@donnawoodford4127]

I love watching model trains do what their prototype relatives do.

[@sarajanesmith3892]

I love the caboose! Real classic!

[@kb0rqwnone203]

I wish I started one 40 years ago!! LOVE IT!!!!!

[@williamMikmaq222]

That’s cool, looks really good in the powder snow.
I admire a Man who isn’t afraid to run his 1000 dollar plus G scale trains around in the snow.
I think you should build a Russell with wings that run off a servo to clear that double track.
Thanks for sharing!

[@franzh2403]

A fantastic video clip. I really like how the locomotive 🚂 clears the snow from the rails. Greetings Franz

[@ChrisK-LTC]

Good plowing snow, it actually threw off instead of just pushing up. Very nice.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Thanks

[@maurusluctum8886]

That layout is awesome. I really like the wide curves and track switch elements! That's how it's done!

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Glad you like it

[@KaloqnBankov]

Imagine if they decide to sell the house and be like "Oh yeah there is a railway passing through the backyard..."

[@phillipmontano7664]

Aikeknees --Achy Knees Haw! All that's needed is a snowblower to deal with the pesky central comb.

[@telcelmagdalena6288]

Ke agusto c divierte este amigo.

[@jacobhinojosa6462]

That’s very interesting model train set clever snow off the tracks

[@HitTrainz]

Really cool, from 1:04 - 1:08 that was a real tough stretch of track to plow through!

[@mattygates1]

You should see the weed eater attachment he has for summertime.

[@reddeath8407]

Thanks, track was cleaned back in December when we ran some Christmas trains for visiting neighbourhood families.

[@cnpfunteam6105]

Maybe this is what I’ll do if I ever have a backyard railroad

[@karlazmegac6445]

Needs more subs!

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

Hello Aikenknees,
what does G track use? I'd imagine DC? What about track voltage and amperage? Also, how are electrical shorts prevented during operation during snow / rain conditions?
Thanks,
-Eric

[@AikenkneesRailway]

We use 18V DC, up to 15 amps depending on the number of locomotives running. Summer, winter rain or snow, no issues.

[@erikgranse9709]

Ha! Where can I order the 8-track version of the soundtrack? :-)

[@AikenkneesRailway]

I'm waiting until I get 1,000,000 pre-orders before I do another run----LOL...………..…..!!!

[@northerncountryrailroad8939]

Very nice!

You should have made it go faster I what have cranked It wide open

[@der-gartenbahner]

Hello, can you please tell me where you got the red snow plow? Is he built by himself? Can it be exposed to any car or is it a unit with the car?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Was built by "Aristocraft". They went under a number of years back. You still see them for sale on Ebay.

[@mitchellowen8821]

Right on that cool

[@happyjack880]

Very cool

[@DonMarzzoni]

Is this ok for the rails or train? I'm pretty sure water and electricity don't mix

[@AikenkneesRailway]

No issues, everything's good. 👍

[@desertmulehunter]

Looked almost like a model train.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

G-scale, 1:29

[@dgholland6865]

where can you buy this train what is the name of this train

[@AikenkneesRailway]

The plow was made by Aristocraft. They have been out of business for many years.

[@idahobuckaroo8348]

Impressive.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Thanks.

[@kaorumasa7269]

ラッセルってなんか好きだなぁ

[@C2H6O_MusuiEthanol]

わかる

[@12333jimmy]

How do you prevent rust

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Track is a brass alloy, When the temperature is sub-zero, there's no rust. When the equipment is brought in for the day, I blow it clean and dry with compressed air.

[@michaelwashington2682]

Nice video 👍 question? Do the trains these days still get the power from the electric Tracks? Or they are powered by a motor inside them?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Ours are analog track power, filtered DC.

[@tiger.6509]

Aikenknees2013 Railway never heard of it where do you buy trains like this?

[@queenj4732]

just like my brio snowplow

[@mahesazenar5578]

How much scale is the train..?????

[@AikenkneesRailway]

1:29 scale.

[@BbqMikeG]

Available on vhs and beta! 😂 Great snowplowing video.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Thanks! 😃

[@charlesgriffith4217]

Hello, Who made the GPs and the caboose?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Locomotives and caboose come from USA Trains, (Charles Ro Supply Co.)

[@jwalster9412]

are theese battery operated? I dont know much but i imagine electric rails wouldn't do so good in the snow

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Track power, no problems rain or shine. Hot summers to freezing winters, works ok.

[@oddballdynamics.9658]

Learned something new. Thanks.

[@sukottotsukeshi.]

this is oddly satisfying
but also how do u deal with maintenance on garden railroads?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Not much, clean the track once in a while, sweep leaves off, it's all part of the fun in the hobby.

[@sukottotsukeshi.]

Aikenknees2013 Railway and wen the tracks warp?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

No warpage, some frost heaves in the spring maybe.

[@challenger8448]

make a steam train have a snowplow

[@angelmg7344]

Thanks for this present. Oh my Good.!!!
One question: are the locomotives self-propelled by internal batteries, or do they take energy from the rails?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

We run with 20V-DC track power.

[@angelmg7344]

@@AikenkneesRailway ok my friend. At then only another question: the snow not make cortocircuit???
Thanks a lot. And enjoy.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

No shorts, even when we run in damp weather.

[@swells4918]

Excellent! Way to keep the line open. Battery powered or track powered?

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Bridgeworks 15 amp, good old analog track power

[@lalbahaduryadav163]

Yes

[@charlieb.4400]

Tie up a mouse on the front of the plow.
No horn.....

[@twizzy_4l634]

What scale is this??

[@AikenkneesRailway]

G scale, 1:29.

[@Amselbahner]

works grate. Sub.

[@cyberrednec]

Looks like a way to have something short out, or maybe I'm just paranoid

[@AikenkneesRailway]

No issues, we run summer, winter, rain or shine.
