Hi, Bachmann Fans,

I wish you all a great Holiday Season and fun running trains in the snow.
Running trains in the snow is a big part of the winter fun my son and I have. So I thought would share a video or two of my son Nick running his plow train.  We run both modern 1:29th scale and 1:22.5 and 1:20.3 Large scale steam on his layout.  Since we do not risk his expensive Bachmann Locomotives in the snow I am showing the 1:29 scale trains we do run in the snow.

This video is plowing snow from a birds eye view and is not seen this way on other snow plow videos:

This view shows the plow train in the normal running mode,  D&RGW extra 5319 with four units pushing a wedge plow thru some very deep snow:

The locomotives are all battery powered.  There are other related videos showing his California Zephyr running after the plow train has done it's work.  Some show the train running through the house between the rafters of the crawl space.

Our railroad is called the Colorado & Kansas and it has a wholly owned subsidiary called the Missouri Western.
Just for more fun here is a link to a very rare video showing our super long Colorado and Kansas freight train with two mid train helpers running down hill in full dynamic braking mode.  Nick is running the lead units and I am running the mid train helpers.

There is also a video of his Bachmann K-27 is summer associated with the above link.

Once again have a happy holiday season playing with your trains.  My personal best wishes to you all!!
