Nice! I’ve gotten to do that once. Wanted to try a repeat this year, but no snow :slight_smile: :frowning: (Can’t decide if that’s good or bad)

My 2Cyl has the gas tank very near the burner. Once the loco starts to heat up the gas flows just fine. I have pre-heated it with a flood light bulb and I am fortunate that I can fire indoors, then drive outdoors.

Jon - I’ve finally gotten around to digging out the plastic plow I found at a yard sale - looks lile it came off a big model truck - even has dummy hydraulics and stuff. All for 50c.

I’ll be looking to put it on a shorty two-truck car I have around, and if the weather is wusser , giving it a whirl in the morning…

Watch this space.

Shay looks great in the snow. Something about trains running in the snow.
