Clearing the Line

[n3tjm]

Here is a very good video taken after the first snow fall of the season. This is how the Island Pond Railroad clears the tracks. Very good shots. 6mb video.

Very cool!

I'm guessing you're the conductor. Right?

BTW - I've read and liked your .sig file for quite some time. Those little reminders of the important things are good to keep in mind.

My Dad's the driver, and my twin brother is filming ^^.


Glad you like my sigs .

I can just imagine the work to build it.

BTW, what scale is?

That's down right nifty. I am not sure what the guage would be, but is sure bigger and more realistic than my HO layout.

My brother lives in Missouri, and his neighbor has one about that sized, but is steam powered. pretty cool to see that thing chugging along.

Yeah, that is called live steam. I don't think that many people refer to stuff that big by scale though.

I believe its 4 and a half inch scale? Not sure though.

Here's the website. Scroll down to see the info about the layout.

I live about 2 miles away from the local live steam club, the Chula Vista Live Steamers. It's a fairly large group, and they operate at a local park, where my wife and I frequently go walking and picnicking. Lots of fun to watch!
