Nice job! I used an impeller from a vacuum cleaner.

I've thought about building something like this but using a large PC fan to handle the snow. (then just mount it on a box car for 4 steam engines to push.)

Hi Damage, did you have drawings or was this off the top of your head so to speak. It is great.

[@Jason-tl4no]

I more or less just looked at a few pics online and came up with this design. Thanks for the comment.

Well done Damage... do you want to sell PLANS or KITS... thanks Scott Shurtleff

[@id1972taxi]

WOW ! What motor are you using and what remote control system

[@rides800]

It's a 540 sized motor with a gear reduction mounted. I used a regular cheap rc stick radio to control the speed of the motor. See my other vids to see this in the snow.

@@rides800 I realize it's been 4 years since this was posted, but I'm wondering....could you set up a circuit that picks up a signal from the DCC (possibly the strobes on the unit) to turn the motor on and off? Of course, you'll have to pre-set the speed control to the desired rpm.
