Real snowplowing in G Scale

[Loco Bill Canelos]

Hi all I posted this in the General discussion forum by mistake, so here it s for those G Scalers who don't look at the General Discussion topics!!

My son Nick is a G Scaler as am I.  I am a proud Dad, because he is a member of the Denver Garden Railway Society and his railroad will be featured at the G Scale National  Convention next summer.  It will also be in the next issue of Garden Railways Magazine.

Here are some great snow plowing shots on his mainline:

Video one shows the actual plowing of the line with an Aristocraft plow and Four USA Trains diesels in order to clear the way for the California Zephyr. (link below)

Video two shows a USA Trains California Zephyr carving its way through the canyons of snow created by the plow.  It also makes the full loop, including straight through the house via the crawlspace. (link below)

Video three shows a complete circuit of the line by the California Zephyr from the engineers perspective (on board). A nice wide angle lens keeps the rails in sight 100% of the time.  This in a little faster than I normally go, I was shooting for a scale 55 mph. (link below)

Here is the latest vid,  Mounted the camera on top of the GP-38.  It definitely looks different from this perspective.
