    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Big fan in Michigan , and as for the folks questioning - the real ones bog down the same way .

    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.

    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.
