Hi all,

My son and a friend of his ran some trains this weekend. It snowed about a foot here during the weekend after Thanksgiving, and last weekend I shoveled out the mainline. Earlier this week it snowed about an inch. Perfect for snowfighting operations! We didn’t bother with prototypical lashups. :wink:

We plowed the line open yesterday and then it snowed again overnight. This morning the first lap was completed pushing my Russell snowplow, the X-67:

The line is pretty well open now:

My son’s modified Bachmann loco now makes it around the line:

We then decided to run a flanger train to widen the path through the snow:

An finally, a pic from roof of the caboose:

Cheers,

Matt

Spectacular runs, only to be topped in satisfaction by the fact that your son and his friend were running train…that’s what it’s all about!

I love the Russell snow plows so does my cuz!

Only one I own is an X-69.

The Russell is reserved for serious snowfighting:

And sometimes I use this thing:

Awesome! Great pics, the snow really makes it difficult sometimes to tell it’s a model.
