    Ah, yes, just in time for our new snow. The Mechanical Dept. of the Cedar Hill Branch just recieved a new snow plow, and just in time!! Note: The brick counter weight IS from the old CMS in Springfield, retrieved during our last trip down. I have NEVER had so much fun in my life - thought I was a kid again [ still? ] Oh, well, enjoy, I did.

    Yeah, I have seen his home made version. Pretty cool, actually. I think the USA Trains unit is supposed to work about the same. But, even the big old U.P. gets snarled up with REAL removal, as I am sure you have seen on Youtube.

    Well,in between 1/29 and 1/32 scale, you are looking at 15 feet of snow, a good dusting! Had to do what the big boys do - back up and get a run at it! We did get all the way round without a derail, so I call that a success!!
