Three G Scale Diesels Successfully Plowing Snow on The entire Mainline 12/8/24

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Makes me want a outdoor railroad track and a G scale snow plow MOW crew train! Very entertaining and fulfilling!! 👍👍👍🚂🚃🚃🚃

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@markbickelhaupt4414 Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@HaroldAlexis-bb8sd]

Wow first time seeing this snow plowing in G scale. A friend of mine ran his O scale trainset in the ❄️ snow in his yard. Yes I've seen this done on two other videos : SMT did similar on his CN diesel set in Ho scale in the snow in his backyard. Another channel diid this with CN by Rapido also in Ho scale. The sound system is amazing I loved every moment watching this i to am a Chessie System fan & CSX too. First time viewer & just subscribed as well. Video is well done. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🚦🛤️🛤️🚦

[@craigcorson3036]

Best sound effects I've ever heard for a model train layout.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@craigcorson3036 The sound is what sold me on Railpro

[@randallburgess46]

Always love to watch your videos! I’m amazed with your layout and how much time you have spent building it all. It’s truly amazing!

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@randallburgess46 Thanks very much! It’s been a lot of work and the work is not nearly over. I’ll probably be spreading at least a ton and a half of ballast in the spring. The new yard is going to use a lot! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!

[@williamloeber6253]

I am retired from the RR, and snow was always a challenge. But I have to admit I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@williamloeber6253 Thanks 😁

[@josephpruett5661]

Amazed at how quickly the snow melted from your earlier videos,but none the less definitely glad to be in Texas so don't have to worry about the snow this early in the season. Great video thank you for posting.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@josephpruett5661 Thanks! Typical North East Ohio weather….

[@marktaylor8659]

Looks like very wet snow which I believe packs very tightly. I would love to see your plow work on dry, fluffy snow. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheeFishGuy]

Nice comeback. Plows are fun to watch and to operate.

[@PeterAnthonyHolder-StuphFile]

Thanks for sending me the link. Very impressive!😀

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@PeterAnthonyHolder-StuphFile I think this video is better than the other one…

[@mikeizzano172]

Always amazed with the detail you have put into this whole layout ! It must be quite an attraction in your area ! We have the same snow but it’s not melting as fast as where you are , we’re in the 40s today so it will help . I’m about20 miles east of train / tractor trailer incident in the Mohawk valley (NY) one minor injury ,it was a passenger train . Keep up the great work !…🇺🇸….

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@mikeizzano172 as of this morning 95% is already gone… Thank you for the kind words!

[@mikeizzano172]

@ well deserved for the amount of work you put into your creation ! It’s raining here possibly freezing rain in spots .we have 6 or 8 inches left ,grass showing in spots ,haha ,no mowing for awhile…..thanks for what you do !…🇺🇸……

[@jamesmilos9909]

4:35 major derailment! Just like shoveling the stuff, have to get to it before it gets wet and heavy. Unless it came down that way, which it very well may have in your neck of the world. Outstanding video and especially your layout! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@jamesmilos9909 Thanks for the kind words! As for handling the snow, it’s when I have time to get out there…

[@jeffmonsebroten2636]

I really enjoyed the video, I have a small Lionel layout and run a train under the Christmas tree every year with a few lighted houses among the presents. We live out in the country and I have kept the last couple miles open with my 98 Jeep and a blade on the front. I waxed the blade for years but lately have been spraying it with Pam cooking spray and had good luck. Just a thought, I don't know if it would work for you but it helps for me with wet snow, dry snow works slick without any treatment. Jeff

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@jeffmonsebroten2636 I let the plow acclimate to the cold before plowing, I’ve tried fluid film and all it does is make a mess. I might try Pam if I get the opportunity again.

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

Great video and great diesel locomotive sound. It's a shame there isn't as much snow left. I wish you a Merry Christmas and lots of fun with the train.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530 Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@andyrbush]

[@alejandro1992ramirez]

Beautiful railroad amazing work from those engines

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@alejandro1992ramirez Thank you, it was a lot of work.

[@alejandro1992ramirez]

@TheeFishGuy I bet I have been trying to put my lay out together for over a year now

[@TheeFishGuy]

@ the front took two years, the back took four. But they’re never really “finished”

[@deweyhall712]

Time to put the hobos to work shoveling snow...❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@deweyhall712 lol Again?

[@tomhansen2260]

Looks like you the plow handled much better than before after the truck change and minor adjustment to the plow flange to clear the switches.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@tomhansen2260 not to mention a lot less snow!

[@davidcole217]

I think for next year you😅 need a rotary plow. I love the sound

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@davidcole217 I’ll do my best, I might just end up making one. LOL

[@kainpwnsu]

Very impressive system you have. It must take a lot of work to keep everything operational.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@kainpwnsu Thank you! It’s a labor of love!

[@ingomoba1001]

Perfect Job, by the wet snow 🚂🛠🤩👍. Like me

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@ingomoba1001 lol

[@stephenmccanse3129]

that's is some heavy sticky snow

[@rjmyers5713]

all three are powered? You have a great layout, has to be fun operating!

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@rjmyers5713 thank you! Yes, all three are powered!

[@enricocaputo2600]

[@RailRide]

Is it ever practical to run "sweeper trains" during the snowfall to limit accumulations on the main line to a more manageable degree, or would it be too much of a time commitment ?

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@RailRide timing of the weather and my schedule have to line up… which never happens lol

[@davespendio7809]

Great job loved the video

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@davespendio7809 Thanks!

[@kellywilson8440]

Now thats a proper railroad set up very impressive and those engines sound fantastic , Does the moisture hurt anything ???

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@kellywilson8440 Thanks! These models are designed to be in the elements!

[@huntercoleman460]

How long have you had a backyard layout Jonathan?

[@builderbob58]

That scale snow looked about four feet high.

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@builderbob58 in places!

[@davidhall8874]

Well, sir, I don't know where you are from nor where this layout resides, but I would love to shake your hand and buy you a cup of coffee! I asked where the sound was coming from, and I didn't understand the answer, but model RR has come a LONG way since I messed with it back in the 70's. Nevertheless, your layout is outstanding! Count me as your newest subscriber!!!

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@davidhall8874 Thanks, I don’t make money off my videos so I don’t beg for subscribers or anything like that. Let me see if I can explain… G scale is a lot like old school trains from the 70’s. Typically the power would come from the tracks and get picked up by the wheels on the engine. With as complicated as my track plan is I cannot have the power coming from the rails. There are now batteries installed in my engines as the power source. In order to control them I use a remote. The receiver is in the engine and tells it to go forward or back and beyond that I can control the lights, horn, bells and sound for the engine! The remote control and receiver in the engine are a brand name called “Railpro”. With this system I can run multiple trains independently or lash engines up like in this video! I hope this helps explain everything! If you want, you can check out some of my other videos to see the layout in summer. 😁

[@HeartlessHunter604]

Well well well. good to see you making it around the tracks this time. I wonder two things. 1. what if you took every engine you had (example: 9 diesel engines and the plow) would they manage to go through the layout in one go? 2. can we see some mainline steam with the plow during a future run?

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@HeartlessHunter604 lol Thanks, 1, I’ll probably never try to plow again unless the conditions are perfect and the snow is only 2 or 3 inches deep. I tried busting through with six engines yesterday but the more engines I put the more trouble I seem to have. Railpro has its limitations on lash ups. I have 40 engines lol 2. The only steam engine I really run is my big boy and there’s too much money into it to be playing in the snow. I have a few others but they’re not Railpro’d so I do not run them. Some day…

[@Franco-dg9bn]

Nice

[@PappaLitto]

Crazy seeing a model clear 10+ scale feet of actual snow. Are those locomotives water proof? If not aren't you worried about the melting snow covering them?

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@PappaLitto G Scale engines are designed to used in the elements!

[@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb]

Locos sound real good and a hammerhead uboat , was that really a thing

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb Thanks! There were high hood Uboats, just not in the Chessie System. I never liked the mono window in the front so I covered it 🤣

[@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb]

@@TheeFishGuy i know bns sd9s were hammerheads
