Mallet and snow
Posted by Marty Cozad on Friday, January 20, 2006 5:07 PM
Well with others having fun in the snow , we finally got a little wet stuff.

Before the crew change they decided to take the mallet out with the wedgie plow.



Here she is pulling a 4% grade heading to the HighLine Bridge.


(on the bridge)

On a whole the mallet has the power but we had to walk her up the mountain side and take it easy on the front end.
Plus the front wheel set kept pluging up and derailing with the white stuff.


(heading toward tunnel #3 north of Duncan)




(just passing under the old highway 2 bridge)
The crew decided that we'll leave the snow fighting to the SD 45s ;)

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Marty:

I agree with Ben, you can keep the snow. It was exceptionally cold here this morning, looked outside at the thermometer on the patio, it read 36. Decided that was too cold to do anything, went back to bed.

I am still in awe of your mastery of the snow plows. My wife and I continue to watch your videos of the rotary in action. My wife keeps bugging me to ask if you have posted any more vids of the rotary besides on the GR Page/forum few months back.

I don't know what I liked more, that loco, or that arch bridge.

That's easy, Penn! You like that loco on the bridge! Marty has a famous bridge that's not in any of this set of pictures.
