'boosePlow & SD45s
Posted by pimanjc on Friday, December 28, 2007 7:57 PM

I posted a new snowplowing vid on youtube.  The first half is night plowing in snowing powdery snow.  The second part was filmed by grandson, CJ, in deep icy packed snow.  The newly built caboose plow was used [wt.=5lbs].  Several derails occured. The last derail broke the coupler.

Hope you enjoy.
