Thanks Grizz, I`m afraid it`s just for looks and wouldn`t throw snow.

Darn, that is what I was going to ask?
Cool engine, and the rest of the setup is interesting.
Followed your videos in the past, looks like I have some catching up to do!
If I live long enough my dream is to make a outdoor track so I can let those Bowman loco`s breath a little.
Been so darn sick I can`t get to the city to get the steel too start making the track.
Hell of a world fellars, do what ya can when ya can.

Nice snowblower, Pitchy. If I had to build one like that, it would probably take me all winter. I am constantly amazed at what you build in your shop

Pitchy, excellent engineering. Very cool what you can create in your shop.
Ave you ever heard of a company called "Berg". They manufacture small items for industries and their prices were considerably less than hobby items. Google Motion Industries, then Berg on their site

That is a kewl engine but I thought you weren't gonna use those alcohol burners any more. Or is that something else making that blue fire? Any way it looks like it would throw snow.
Have a wonderful new year.

I tell ya Pitchy, you leave nothing to the imagination. The better half and me were looking at your masterpiece and just wondered about the thinking that went into that. YOU are a mechanical genius.
I've known lots of people who were mechanical in the automotive world but never to the level to which you have taken it.

Pitch, that's ingenious. I have a lot of the parts for that steam-operated loco, but my shop is just too darned cold this time of year to have any fun out there. Hope you get a whole lot better soon!

Thanks Bill, kinda chilly here this morning too -20

I watched that video of the 3 locomotives pushing the snow blower. I just love steam trains. I ride one every chance I get. Took the kids to Chama and we rode over to Antonito. Over the Cumbres Pass. They had to use 2 engines to get us out of town and the 1 which took us over was using it's sanders almost continuously on the uphill side. Beautiful up there.
