- The LGB Staintz had to do the job. It’s not that heavy, but with a little patience it pulled through, using the DIY Snow Plow and the DIY Sweet Sweeper. 🚂🤗

Que original !!
Super. I usually use three locomotives on my snowplow train. I love that snowbrusher. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Looks like it's time to resort to bigger and heavier locomotives for the snow plow.
This looks like so much fun! I really want to make something to clear the snow on my garden layout in case we get snow 🌨️
Very enjoyable. I wonder if any outdoor garden G scale runs on track power. With that you might be able to run more or less continuously during a snowfall to keep up with it. Or have it go at intervals on a timer with an appropriate setting if on battery, keeping equipment in the tunnel between runs. Fun to think about.
That’s a funny idea. But I wouldn’t let it run unattenden too long - accident happens! 🙃
The first winther I ran the trains on track power. But as you can see here, the loco gets in trouble sometimes, because it looses electric contact sometimes. 🚂🙃

@@harrildrailroads5584 I hear ya. Here's another one then; run DC current through each track with the track distance itself being the load. Maybe a couple of amps. The voltage needed would depend on the total track resistance value. If it was 1 ohm for example, it would take 2 volts to push 2 amps with 4 watts dissipated. I'm only guessing at the actual resistance, and I don't know how many watts it would take. The rails can definitely melt the snow directly on top and right next to them. They'd become dry too. Between the rails and whatever side body clearance is needed would still be an issue. If you try it let me know how it works out.
Spoil by Giant Hand and Monster Human being. Imagine if there's such a thing called editing. Kudos.
What is the total length of this track?
The small original 8 digit-loop is 42 m., the track through the large curve with all the bridges is about 30 m. In “the highend” (in the lowest part for the garden) I’m ready to lay down the next 50 m of track. When I finish the large loop I’ll be around 200 m for the first singletrack layout - and double up in the future, when I finish the second track loop. If you want it in ft., just make it x3,3. 🚂😊
Man får et meget fint indtryk af dine flotte broer 😊 er lokomotivet batteri-drevet ??
Tak. Ja, du kan se lidt om det her: th-cam.com/video/p_B1XIVuzj0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FWWEuNZBag_W4yVC
Eminent arbejde af fut-toget! 🚊
Ja, men bare det var lidt tungere…🙃
