First plowable snow
23/01/12 05:58 PM
( permalink)
The Kittatinny Mt RR got their first plowable snow the other day. The area has been in a snow drought this year. First attempts failed at plowing. Today the guys got the plow out after getting a coating of snow last night. (I cheated I got most of the line cleared by hand and used the plow for clean up and last nights coating) I used my Big john with battery and then got the Forney live steam out. ( I have to put a knuckle coupker on front so can plow with the steamer). The plow is my new scrach built plow using an Aristo plow. I still have to finish detailing it and doing the windows. Anyway enjoy. Vimeo http://vimeo.com/35513157 Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UXBasgzl6U&feature=youtu.be

Loverly atmospheric stuff as usual Shawn. I can feel the frost bite in my figers and toes. Love the lingering shot of the steam around the tunnel portal. Max.

Hi Shawn Also spotted your line is going to appear in the next Garden Railways really looking forward to the read . Have found lately the magazine is getting thinner and thinner down to 90 pages now used to be 150 but still worth the money always a good read
