1z99 Independent Drift Plough - part 2

[@HeritageGardenModelRailway]

Remember seeing them snowploughs back in the 80s Stabled on the middle road at Buxton Station, alongside lots of idling class 104 & 108s pumping out blue smoke all over the station and the TMD. Happy days.

great footage. thanks for posting it. its great to see all the different styles of snow moving equipment. keep up the good work.

[@andyhill242]

Those ploughs are a great design, the way they shift snow even at low speed.

being shoved by a deltic class 37 doing all the hard work

[@DavidLeon140m3]

not as good as a rotary plow the up and BNSF uses

[@seansean9675]

@@DavidLeon140m3 not the same amount of snow

Great to see these in action, excellent filming.

Excellent this is super footage 👍👍

Thanks for posting this video. We has snow in the South but not as bad as up North. Just hit the big red button to add my support to your channel 280 and liked.

[@neilbarnett3046]

I find it hard to believe that pushing the snow to both sides is the best method, it just went all over the other lines. There must be a ton of snow on top of the plough waiting to shake off all over the tracks. And how much did that plough cost, to do a half-baked job?

[@michaelfletcher1694]

And how do you propose they do it ? There is ALOT of weight and force there, them ploughs are designed to work at fast speed normally and will shift the snow clear of the next track! If you have the force going on one side only, you will risk derailing if a hard drift is encountered at speed, least this way will keep forces straight and will result in a fast but safe stop !

Network rails snow plow, for the once-a-decade we get anything more than 8 inches of snow

[@andyhunt457]

Is is different type of snow here.over there its just powdery fluffy bunny stuff 😁

[@ginajones1003]

Andy Hunt Actually it is rare that we have fine powder snow in Britain; they get this type mostly on the continent; whereas we mostly have the wetter type, that is good for making snowman! I believe it is something to do with the position of the Gulf Stream bringing more airborne moisture in at a critical level of the atmosphere than they have in places like France and Spain.

[@waldenhouse]

Superb! But don’t we “fanny about” compared to our American & Canadian cousins!!

[@streetsafari0]

Bobby D look up George Acosta and his snow plough videos. He seems to have filmed a US or Canadian snow plough hitting snow drifts at speed and blind, and he seems to be a radio guy advising the driver.

[@stevek3036]

I hear what you say, I like the US approach but sometimes brute-force and determination results in failure. This driver paused and I think used his head and engaged a mode of drive to ensure he got through the drift without de-railing or getting stuck. The torque from the combined engines is almost comparable to the big US engines albeit that this rolling stock is very old

[@beeble2003]

That's because we have a couple of hundred yards of blocked line to clear and they have a couple of hundred miles.

[@karldenton]

Can you couple a 37 and 47 in multiple do both engines controlled by 1 unit?

[@eagle50043]

Karl Denton in this instance they were being driven by 2 crews in both cabs. Don't think they can multi.

[@brianwhiting5658]

only 2 class 47 locos was able to work in multi based at immingham using rch fittings i think it was 47 371 and 47 373 nicknamed pinky and perky .

Great Video

[@mortenjohansen8148]

Why not take a snowblower and blow it out on the water and fields?????

[@johndemeen5575]

April it will melt.

Yes lots of fannying here. I could do that job standing in new reflectives. Give us a job!
