The offical snow thread

Ralph - Editing it down is the right answer. It’s way too long as it stands at about 15 minutes. Still learning :slight_smile:

Shortened and 720P HD. Watch full screen if you can.

Looks good full screen on a 23" monitor, Jon.

Charlie, how much does your plow weigh?

I’m not sure of the total weight, however I built it around a full-size brick. An internet search indicates that the average brick weighs 6 pounds. So, with the rest of the kit I’m going to estimate 7 pounds total.

copy that… thx

Thanks. Do you need to turn “Scaling On” to fill the screen? I do on the computer, but on the TV via Roku it goes full screen by default; and looks surprisingly good on the 42" for an el-cheapo camera.

Its amazing how good things look even with an el cheapo camera. I did to get something that shoots in HD, only problem is uploading, it takes forever on my end.

My 4 year old and I ran some steamers today. I took controls of the cricket while he controlled the Forney with RC. Great day for steam plumes.

Charlie Brown was testing this unit today!

Not to much snow but there is some.

He hopes it can still pull some freight!

Fat chance…I’ll keep the woodstove and the coffee hot, you can play in that stuff…:wink:

Nice video Shawn. I can see “Big Foots” prints in the snow, did you capture it on video? It’s pretty bad I live in the pacific northwest where we look forward to a snowy winter but non so far. By this time of the year we’ll see at 25 to 30" of the white stuff. To date we’ve only had about 6". I’d rather look at the white stuff instead of a brown yard.

Have fun in the snow!!!

John,

we have millions of gallons of water over here. Most of the English flat land areas seem to be either waterlogged or under water.

Even the coasts has been inundated in places with very high winds and very high tides.

I’m sure we could send you some if you wanted it.

Maybe if you stopped sending the bad weather eastwards, in our direction, and sent it south westerly you could have water and I could get to run trains again. I blame the North eastern Canadians because that seems to be the starting point for all the bad weather.

I bet Tac, over in the flatlands of eastern England, has taken up residence in his ark. I am OK, hopefully, I am 200ft. above sea level and providing the up to 80 mph. winds leave me alone I should be OK.

By the way Shawn to vid was enjoyable: I see even NYC got snow.
