I missed one detail: The blower housings for the plow where the snow would be thrown out angle outwards!
I watched the entire video waiting for you to catch that fact! Lol
Can you put Athearn and Altas bachmann and walthers on the track and so what kind of track you used.
The blower chutes rotate to direct where they are discharging. On the prototypes they would road it with the chutes in the position they are in on the model.
Those circles on the windows are representative of the rotating ship style windows they adopted into winter equipment from the marine industry. Ships in the winter have a problem of ice build up, those round portions of the window spin as they found that a rotating object wouldn't get ice build up on it while a static object would.
can be noisy too
A similar technology exists for machine shops, called visiports. Available in retrofit and oem applications.
Same with agricultural machinery for the air filters or wipers.
It is called a Clear View Screen or Kent Screen. It is a fast rotating clear disc that allows a clear view in heavy rain or snow. In contrast to wipers these things are self cleaning and much more durable and efficient. On the downside they only clear a circular part of the windscreen.
Excellent tidbit of information! I learned something today, & I wasn't really trying to!
We loved this model when we had the Austrian version. Just a note on handling - when you fix it to the display track do not over tighten the mounting screw - you can put a curve into the chassis. The price is high but it reflects the years of R&D that Roco have put into their functional models. They work reliably again and again. Cheers for the review Chris
I’m from CNJ and had Lionel trains as a kid. When I came to Japan 20 yrs ago, I couldn’t find American trains. Accidentally, I found a place that sold ROCO. I got the Orient Express sleeping car set and some ROCO passenger cars (44737 beautiful & 44653 & 44641 excellent ) all of which have meticulous detail! These were made in Austria & Germany. Later I gotta nice seriously strong looking ROCO 43704 locomotive.
Germany is known for precision, looks like in trains they defiantly apply that.
FYI the "snowplow" in tha back is called a flanger. It is used to clear snow between the rails. It can be lowered and raised when passing over switches.
Thank you for saying this Marme.
that is correct
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_view_screen. Interesting!!!
I was waiting for someone to say that!! Spot on dude!
Very very cool. Nice to see Roco is still around.
This is awesome. Roco is always good quality. The old atlas locos built by roco is the best ever !!
I love it,great looking train and the 180 rotating is very cool.
Very nice I've never seen this type of rotary snow plow. They really done a nice job. Thank you for showing us.
That is so cool! Great review. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great review James! That is a very cool piece! That has to be the smoothest slow drive I've ever seen !
I have never seen anything like this very cool little locomotive! great product reviews as always!
I love your reviews. This engine is awesome. I had bought stuff just because of your reviews over the years and I might just buy this as well I love it! Thanx
Just a suggestion: Once we hear the diesel sound, that's sufficient. You don't need to run it while you're talking. You are hard to hear at times over the noise. Other than that, it's great. Greg in TN
His reviews are Decent. I personally think he talks too much and is too thorough on the reviews. His voice is very annoying because he sounds like Norm McDonald.
This is a phenomenal review of an amazing product! Very great video.
Nice, i’ve always been fascinated by that thing ever since I saw it listed on ModelTrainStuff
Man I don't have any need of a snowplow but this is so incredible...
Not something I would ever buy but what an amazing model. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great product. Glad to see this innovation in our hobby.
That is a very cool snowplow James. I really am impressed by the features of the thing it’s just completely cool.😉
Keep up the good work.👍🏻
I didnt even know something like this existed
Yep, the German Federal Railroads Constructed these because they needed a High-Output Snow clearing vehicle. On delivery, these snow blowers were considered to be the most powerful snow blowers on the rails in terms of speed and clearing capacity with a clearing capacity of 16,000 tons of snow per hour at 30 kph
Imagine hooking it up to a train car then accidentally turning it around lol train car YEET
When l First seen l knew l had to have one, it's such a cool product to have with your rolling stock....
Awesome locomotive and another amazing video
but its not 100 percent accurate to its bnsf livery
Nice review of a very interesting piece of railroad equipment
👍👍👍😎😎😎 Cary
Whoa - totally impressive!
I miss having Roco readily available... I always loved their products.
Nice little critter James, they
ought to package some snow
to go with it! 😁😁😁😜😜😜
Oh man i regret not getting one of these when i had the chance, i wasnt aware it did all that!
you noob
They are still on ebay
Nice review. I had no idea such a thing existed.
This is a very cool bnsf rotating snow plow train.
Very cool but one thing that wold be bad is if you made it rotate while coupled up to a train
Very cool unit
Super beautiful
You called it a snow plow when technically it is a snow blower/thrower.
the rotating assemblies are called augers and those would be set up as stages like 1, 2, 3 4 stage snow blower/thrower
That would depend on how many augers of a piece of equipment would have
The other parts behind the augers are the blower/thrower chutes that set up to blow/throw the snow in the direction you want.
First time seeing this... cool!
How unusual! I didn't know there was a such thing!
This is very unique. I’d like to see this in O-Scale
Hey jlwii200 I love the reviews. Roco drives are super smooth. That plow has traction tires on 2 wheels. On my roco GG1's that have traction tires, having them on back gives more pulling power.
There is one of these stationed in West Glacier Park, one at the summit of the Marias Pass in Essex MT, and one in Superior Wi.
Those are Leslie plows on BNSF. BNSF may also have thier Bros SnoFlyr
No way! Do they actually rotate?
@@wilfred8326 actually they do have that exact plow. I have seen it
The circular part of the windows are called Kent screens. Th glass is spun at high speed to throw the snow off
Wow, I have been out of the hobby for a long time, it's amazing what is available these days.
Me too! Haven't been into my trains and Model RRer magazine for the last 9 years now. (too much else going on in my life I guess!)
@@tmotorman I downsized so I don't have the room. I had an entire room dedicated to my HO setup at one time. I ended up giving everything to my nephew.
@@hudsonhawk0016 Sad but I know it happens. I may be looking at that too, and I haven't even been able to set up all I wanted to yet. Good deal for your nephew though!!
Really cool
I don't like snow and hope I never get any on my layout. Cool presentation. Thumbs up..
The circles in the windscreen are a wiper system that is what they use on ships.
Os produtos ROCO são muito bem construídos e de ótima qualidade e feitos na Europa.
I love unboxing.
I think the two orange flaps at the front either side , swing outwards to widen the cut . Wales UK.
Nice, I like that
it is amazing, and with fully functional blades, but the price it a little steep,, great for the modeli dint know the gauge did coupler height that is something to check out
That reminds me of a character from a certain show
should do the brother item, working remote crane, Roco #73035 Slewing Railway Crane w/digital operation
Roco has some very unique cars. Check out their crane very impressive and hard to find.
Saw the real one CSX owned plowing base trackage at Fort Drum in 2005. I had no camera nor was I able to get one and come back..... For those brief moments I was impressed.
Hi. They really had one there? I'm in Ogdensburg. Never knew they had one already, let alone up here in northern, NY! Will have to look it up on a roster for CSX.
@@tmotorman yes. Inherited from Conrail.

@@wilfred8326 I see. Neat. Never knew they had one. No American manufacturer for such a thing anymore I don't believe.
4 axle rigid wheelbase? Looks like the second and third axles had some lateral movement to help prevent binding on curves? But did you test it on tight radius point work?
It would look good with a Jordan Spreader hooked up to it
the motorized plow is awesome! But what theyre asking for it seems a bit much...
oh my god it drifts
Interesting that the blades turned counter clockwise the first time you turned them on, then turned clockwise on the second turn on, so the motor(s) that drive them are not fixed rotation? 🤔
BNSF does have this plow, but not that road number
I just learned about these snow plows and I have to have one. I do prefer the safety yellow CSX road name better than the BNSF. The question now is where is the best place to order one? The best price I have found is $389.23 but it’s on a website that is a bit shady. Anyone know the best price from a solid dealer??? 👍
Have you dumped a bunch of baking soda on the tracks to see if it will go through it?
Looks a little like Irving from chuggington but with a snow plow.
Oh cool it's Irving from chuggington
Yay
How did they get the licence from BNSF is my question, especially with there whole "domestic licence" deal.
csx68 BNSF Keystone Corn Route and it’s not prototypical
@@seal_agera1161 something screams "no licence", don't let BNSF know...
Look OK
I don’t understand point to point layouts. Maybe to save space? More realistic? I don’t know can someone tell me.
my layout is a module because I am about to move.
Now if only they will come out in n-scale in UP
How much that's a flanger on back
At 2:51 I don't see how moving snow in front of you will help
How much is cost look nice
I'm surprised Roco is still making some American models! I have some Roco models that were sold under AHM.
I'm surprised no North American railroad has actually tried one of these Beilhack plows yet, especially since these units can be driven without having a standard locomotive behind it
Conrail bought one in the late 70's.... I seem to remember seeing it in Magazines of the time. Before Global Warming it seemed we were on our way to "A Coming Ice Age" and much of Conrail's equipment was found to be inadequate....so a rush order was placed for one of the above.
Apparently CSX have a few.
Do plows like this exist in real life?
And the snow gets blown right back at the engineer
now the model is crying out for some serious weathering at the moment it looks too new I'm sure one winter season of use would scrape the orange paint of the blower fans and have snow/ice scrape marks on the sides of the plow I'm sure there must be video/photos on the web or YT, the possibilities are endless. but it is a nice model
Were can I buy one
That look like Irving from chuggington
Yup
But does it blow snow??
But can it plow ?
I take it this unit is based on a prototypical model? Does this unit actually work on the BNSF?
David Proud no, the real BNSF 972558 is a standard North American rotary snow plow with a booster behind. The only American railroad that employees these plows is CSX. They are built by Beilhack in Germany. Roco also offers this unit in the proper CSX livery as well as European liveries but this BNSF example is pure fiction.
If only a sd40 could spin around
I wasn't expecting a high quality model to have traction tires.
Artur Neto Most european ho scale locomotives have traction tires for better pulling ability. It doesn’t really make sense in this case though.
Just make sure there's no trains on the other track when you change directions.
Traction tires on the front as u turned it upside down......
spinning glass in windshield
a roco loco
Nice to bad that the snow plow dont rotate. I wonder lionel makes one
jlwii2000 looks like ricardo
Does this thing actually turn 180 in real life
yes but I dont think BNSF has any th-cam.com/video/RXRvb1Maq1k/w-d-xo.html
But does it come in N scale? Nope, but I wish it would.
how about no....
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96BB_2080 Here's an article for the "real" snow blower.
chuggingtonn be like
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😳😂😂😂😂
Saw one of these and thought about buying it, than I saw the price...
same
that´s the price for not beeing made in china
Nice review of a really cool product. One question you didn't address--what's the minimum radius curve it can handle? With 4 axles on a rigid frame I imagine that could be a problem for many layouts. FYI, for the people who had questions about the price, according to the Roco website it's 449 Euros (about $480 US). www.roco.cc/en/productsearch/0-snow-0-0-0-0-0-0-1/products.html
Roco's website says 358mm which converts to 14 inches.
@@jlwii2000 Wow--I wouldn't have thought it could go around something so tight.
@@billlauretti7963 its no big deal with 4 axles, the middle ones can move a little bit from side to side. Most european stuff is made for radiuses like this. Märklin / Trix even has a UP big boy that can go arround 360mm radius curves, looks totaly ridiculous, but it works just fine.
Wow first !
There’s no way this thing is prototypical
Could this theory (rotating) locomotives be practical to today’s world? Or would there really be no reason for it.
The real snowplows do rotate. Someone else posted a link to a clip of one.
The packaging costs more than what's in it.
Why just why
James, im ashamed of you, its "Running" not "driving"
