Garden Railroad Plowing Snow Part 2
Friday night we received a couple of inches of snow and the lads of the Cape Cod Central RR were out clearing the Rail Road on Saturday. They did a fine job as we saw in the "Garden RailRoad Plowing Snow 12024" video. Saturday night we had a dusting of snow and the boys of the Bay Colony line wanted a chance to earn some overtime pay so they grabbed the wedge and took it for a run. There wasn't much snow so plowing wasn't a problem but the rails and switches were iced and that made for some terrible slipping and stalling out. This is a short video featuring their successes.

Garden Railroad Plowing Snow on 12024
มุมมอง 5966 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Cape Cod Central RR received some plowable snow so the MOW crew hoped right on it. The boss suggested using our custom built blower car the "Rail Warrior" to clear the track and it was working well until we hit the deeper drifts but luckily the crew had brought along the wedge plow and after swapping it out the work continued. Once the line was cleared the guys grabbed the GP and headed bac...

How to add a wood load to your G scale tender

In this video I show how I added a real wood load to the tender of my Bachmann 2-8-0 Connie and then we take a ride a round the RR. In the video you may also notice that I added a spark arrestor to the stack, pin striping, some piping was touched up with a silver sharpie and all valve handles were painted red. There is also an air tank, made from a dowel added to the tender. The project was a q...

A Dunkin Donuts for the Garden Railroad
มุมมอง 416ปีที่แล้ว
There is a friendly contest on the Large Scale Central forum called the "Mik's Build Challenge" and the theme this year was to build something that could be found in a downtown. We have 30 days and up to $30 to build something that sticks with the theme and my choice was a Dunkin Donuts. The drive up window was designed to service train crews and passengers. I'm very pleased with my efforts.

The Garden Railroad is Storm Damaged
มุมมอง 7212 ปีที่แล้ว
We had a big storm come through the region on April 17/18 2022 and the Railroad was damaged by a falling tree limb. In this video we see the MOW crew attack the damage from both sides using cranes, bulldozers and brute strength. The line is cleared of debris and then the MOW returns to fix the trestle and replace the bent track. As usual a whacky crew of characters gets the job done.

    This would be perfect for my railway, im in bergen and i have an SM32 scale railway, however, the snow quickly turns to ice so what ive had to do up till this point is boil water and pour it on the rails to melt the ice and then get an engine (live steam) to push the rest of the snow out the way.

    • @CapeCodTrainTodd
      @CapeCodTrainTodd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is rare that we get the right kind of snow that my little trains can move and once it turns to ice, game over. I put together a shovel using a broom stick and a piece of azek, that is plastic trim that won't scratch the track like a metal shovel would. I slide this along the track and push the slush away to get the trains running again.

      Thanks. The pinstripe is tape. This Connie was painted with white lines. My favorite RR is the Cape Cod Central and their scheme is a maroon black stripe and yellow striping. I have several diesels that are painted that way. My steam engines get the yellow stripping to help bring them into the family. Eventually I might letter the tender but for now a piece of black tape covers the WP&YR😁
