Nice vid Jim, good action. The Aristo is good, trouble is I live on the coast and we haven't seen snow for 4 years or so so mine just sits o a spur, waiting!

Cheers,

Kim

Looks like about 15 scale feet of snow.

New vid trying out 3 different snowplows

The Youtube link is for a short vid of three different snowblades used with my FAFB locos. The vid was taken over three days as well. By the third day, the snow had melted off some.

I found that the Aristo Gondola plow was more successful on curves due to a longer wheelbase, than the 'booseplow. Both trucks are nearer to the ends of the gondola. Now, I need to modify the 'booseplow since I like its looks better.
