Railking plowing snow video

[FJ and G]

Snowplowing on Easter video; unfortunately, the plow was removed because of warm weather and the poor locomotive had to push snow on Easter weekend:

Flatcars built from a kit hauling logs and Christmas trees on Easter weekend. Chains secure the large log while stakes secure the Christmas trees. A Lionel docksider pulls the consist. The trees are for all the kiddies whose parents couldn’t afford to buy them trees on Christmas day.

thanks, Laz; It's sunny out now and still snowing; flowers are blooming and cherry blossoms in full bloom; apologies can't make the YouTube link live but you can copy and paste it into your computer to view

That's one cool video. Is the water/moisture bad for MTH and other O gauge trains. I didn't think you could run them like that.

DAVID,

  I was going to ask the same question that MIKE asked, does the snow effect the MTH engine? BB looks like she's thinking, I know I can I know I can, for that engine pushing snow?

I've been running the RK now for over a year in rain sleet and snow. Runs like a charm. Locomotives made for the garden have the same type of motors as these but are sealed underneath with a cover. That's the only difference. I just don't run the loco in deep water. Also, pay attention to lube and oil and she'll be fine. I hear lots of folks thinking of reasons why they shouldn't do something; but meanwhile, I'm having all the fun.

 

I've also left all my rolling stock outside all year in a freight warehouse I designed; but I take the locos inside. I think prolonged moisture and humidity will do the damage over time; but that even goes for garden RR made locos; they bring those inside as well or put them in some sort of shelter

Dave,
Have you tried pressing the <space bar> after the link?  That usually works for me!

I was hoping BB would try and grab the snowball off the front of the RailKing - now that would have been awesome!  She does look like she's thinking... 'Now why are you having trouble moving that stuff?  I just run through it!'

Brent : I noticed if I hit the ENTER key after pasteing a link, that it goes to the next line for typing & the link gets blue, meaning it works !! That's about all I know !!

Nice video Dave !!  

Thanks, John
