- Video of Build Pics • G Scale Snow Thrower B...
This is a video of the first outdoor test run of my custom made metal G scale Snow Blower. See my other videos for the build. The blocks ontop of the locos are lead weights to help with traction. The blower blade is variable speed via remote control. Will need heavier pushers for smoother running around curves.
Love the winter scene with the outdoor railroads!
I was watching video of an actual rotary and wondered if a scale model would even work and what could be used for artificial snow to make it work. I was actually wondering what you used for a couple of minutes until I realized in amazement that it was real snow on your deck. Amazing.
Now you just need a track layout that will keep your driveway clear.
those old 110 volt pc fans
So cool. And the soundtrack of the real locos really takes it to the next level. I'm sure the engineer didn't appreciate it when he saw you break out that shovel so you could make him do it all over again.
I was literally searching for this, to see if it existed, after watching another fellow's g-scale wing plow in action in his garden. This is wonderful work!
Now that’s something I need to have. Rotary snow plows are amazing
Ok i have to admit, i thought this was gonna be lame when i clicked on it and it is so BADASS! NICE work!!!
And I thought I had seen it all! Great.
That’s an awesome piece of kit , can’t believe how well it works
Nicely done that was some seriously deep scale snow. Though I doubt the snow team thanked the shovel god for making them do it all over again. Certainly the blower looks scarily powerful, as you said the curves were the bigger problem.
"Honey, the patio's clear"!
If you go by scale that was one hell of a snow storm!
probably in the Rockies

Try Donner Summit, Calif.
But with giant snowflakes the size of your first.
An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
To answer a few questions, this was just a test I wanted to do quickly to see how well the blower could handle the snow. I simply set down the track on our deck before expected snow accumulation. Blower worked better then expected, issues were due to the tight curves which caused loss of traction on the drive wheels of the pushers. Lead weights were added to increase grip. Future runs will be on a layout with more prototypical curves and heavier pushers. Blower should run without too much pausing then. Thanks for watching.
That thing is a beast.
Absolutely wicked!

Damage Inc / Dam Good Job. I'M trying to get my Layouts started Outdoor in G1:20.3 and HO/ HO,N3 for the back of my work shop . for my G I have just under 4.76 acres and not only that it's flat as all daylights. I have to build my own terrain including mountain range using old tires as a base. where I live we get light to heavy snowfall. but otherwise Dam Good JOB !!!!!!!
Damage Inc Weren't you afraid that you'd burn out the motors? That's a lot of stress to put on a model train.
This is the coolest model I have seen in a LONG time ! I also just got done watching about 20 videos of real rotary plows at work , so seeing a model run like this is just jaw dropping :) shared it on FB even , Great job & thanks for the upload . Big fan in Michigan , and as for the folks questioning - the real ones bog down the same way .
5:40, so THATs how snow falls!! God's snow shovel!
holy crap ive been lied to
Yes after you've worked hard and done your job there is ALWAYS some jerk around with a snow shovel!
Ready for Donner Pass. Thank you for your effort, I'm impressed!
I love it did a lot of work to my friend property in Chicago ! G scale size ! He was president of the Chicago train society his place was amazing ! Wish he would do videos you would love his set up
Nice, its look like the real world,, thanks from denmark, a littel sister to the other scandinavian contryes ;))
My english is so bad, I hope you can understand the meaning :(
I could spend a few hours making it snow for the train!
compared to my Danish (= zero) your English is perfect!!!
That is really neat. That plow is super and works so well. Great video.Thanks.
Awesome training, absolutely first-rate equipment. Cheers!
I've watched this video numerous times and I still like it. Happy railroading!!!
That's just to cool for school lol.the snow blower wow!!!
Honey, what do you want for Christmas?
Snow!
I can actually see it sucking the snow in GREAT JOB very fun video I’ve seen RC trucks with 3D printed parts for a snow blower but this is by far much cooler keep up the mad scientist inventions 👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If other real life rotary snow plows performed like this one, it would throw snow 1,000 yards away from itself. You need to get a hold of the railroads and tell them that they've been building them wrong the entire time haha. Excellent work.
This is amazing. Would love to see more.
Model railroading at its finest! 🚂

Mi mind ist blowen
The ultimate model train flex.
Your snow plow is so cool
Bumble,the abominable snow monster strikes again and again...feel sorry for your next door neighbor.awesome train.
this is the most grandpa thing ive ever seen and i've watched bass masters. :3
That was excellent ! Great talent in making this rolling stock. Most enjoyable.
Unfortunately the material properties of snow do not scale down.
Nor do the material properties of the train. 1:22.5 scale difference in size but most certainly not in weight for example or the difference between one being made mostly of steel to one being made mostly of plastic.
Bushrod Rust Johnson Neither does gravity, the atmosphere, atoms, or physics.
He needs fake snow!
Considering that, the performance is absolutely phenomenal. Cheers!
@@Wildstar40 Christ,it STILL blew the snow just about as good as the prototype would have.
When you don't even own model trains but still watching this video. UA-cam gods be blessing you.
This is actually really fucking cool. Goodjob.
Thx
ju
Better final act than SnowPiecer
I bow down to you Sir. Beautiful work. You are the man! That thing is awesome.
This takes garden railroading to a higher level!
That rotary snowplow is slicker than snot on a doorknob!
Dafaq dose that mean?!???
@@ktrainBFSIt means it’s very impressive
The little snow blower that could.
Nice work man!
So cool!
This makes me want a garden railroad. :)
Admitted, that looked pretty impressive.
Looks like you took a g scale caboose and added a rotary in front. Very cool
My freand Richard frantz from greensburg pa would love this
kool video...ive never seen a snowblower turn 181,500 rpm before...........
charlotte quillen it’s 7500 rpm actually..
I never would of believed it but it really works!! At first I thought it was fake snow or that it just kinda plowed thru it but it was like the real thing. Truly amazed!! Awesome Job..Love the sound of those engines running and especially that snow remover.

Whoa, that takes some planning and skills!
Alot of work there. Cheers!. What the kiddies forget is that it isn't scale snow,,,the crystals are waaay to big. Sounds like it could knarl thru hardwood when set on kill rpm's. Nice work.
This does spark joy
Best winter video of the year. Good work Sir.
The only issue I have with this is oddly enough not to do with the snow but the rate of the flash of the marker lights. Way to fast for prototypical operations. The little snow blower did great though! Thanks for sharing.
This is sweet and unique, who would have ever thought of this.
Home made? Very creative. Good job!
That's absolutely amazing I loved it
That is awesome. Love seeing this.
Real impressive with lights and all.
Thats awesome! Love the sounds and everything!
so freaking awesome. wish I had this after our blizzard.
OMG, lights, camera, ACTION! Beautifully done audio, lighting, and detail. Congrats and keep'um on the rails. - grrtrainman.
someone went and added more snow, lol. I would!!cool video rather mesmerising
That was way to fricken cool !!! I might have to get a semi trailer load of snow and have it shipped South to do this.
What an excellent video of what G-scale modeling is all about. Congrats on a job well done. Can't do this in HO !!!
Man this is something how cool is this snow blower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice job....need one for my driveway......7/25/17.
Shit back when I was little they didn't have these fancy set ups but I like what I had. I had one of the old styles that smoked. Don't see them anymore. Wish I would have kept it to give to my kids.
looks so real
Brilliant!!!
That's some grate models, the rotary is very cool indeed.
NICE!! That is very cool! I've never seen that on a train set for your home. I didn't even know they made stuff like that. Thanks for sharing. I'm impressed!
David Kelly he made it himself.
What else can I say... You guys are amazing.
No problems with overheating. I used a 2:1 gear reduction unit behind the blade to manage torque and load on the blade. It will run full speed until battery dies but I vary the speed for snow depth.
Why battery powered? and how are the blades controlled?
+Teapot Live Battery doesnt rely on track contacts so no interruptions. A simple rc car speed controller and rx/ tx set up controls the blade. Remove the spring on the throttle control so you dont need to hold it at a certain spot.
Ahh I see, makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the reply. Awesome video
So it’s not a fan from a computer tower?
Talk about looking scale, Beautiful man!
That snow plow is a beast! 😃
ONE OF THE BEST RAILROAD MECHANICAL JOBS I DID WAS DOING EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK ON THE LONE SNOW BLOWER THEY HAD!!
That is absolutely wicked!!
Good job fantastic movement's amazing seen
That's the most awesome scale train video I have ever seen.
Well done!
really awesome how it works like in real life, thanks for sharing this video!
unbelievably awesome.
It really works. That's cool. I'd like to see a real one in action, but even when I worked for two winters at Stevens Pass Ski Area northeast of Seattle, on the former Great Northern line, I never did get to see the railroad send one out even though they kept a snow dozer at Skykomish.
Try using a speed controller that has helicopter mode. It will keep the rpm constant regardless of load.
I love it. Unbelievable.
That thing is brilliant. And a little bit scary!
Wow, that thing goes!
And if you lay track all over your driveway you can really impress your neighbours
Nice video and a thumbs up.
Nicely done
That is very cool plow it's really doing great job. plowing the snow. I love it
Phenomenal performance 👍🏻 love the video
Fantastic and a joy to view. Thank you
That's simply Impressive!!!
Engineer's all "God dammit where is it all coming from! I just plowed here!"
Haha
Way cool! You are the king...
"N" scaler.
Makes me want to come and play ,too.
Looks great.
Now that's pretty cool.
Most impressive. Nice work
i model in ho scale... but this is why i would like to model in a larger scale! thats awesome!
***** XD
I am amazed that the snow didn't short out or damage the train.
I think it was outstanding for a first effort. Considering that it was up against scale snowfall that was 2/3 of the height of the rotary. Scale 8 to 12 feet? Even videos of real rotary plows struggled through very deep snow.
Amazing miniature railroad world
Very realistic. I love it!
