Build on Snow
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2019 4:41 pm
After Mother Nature gave us some snow this winter, I picked up on an old idea again. Why not lay a small rail circle on the snowdrift in front of my terrace?
I dug a small track into the snow and tried to create a reasonably flat track with a long spirit level.
A good opportunity to try a new remote control, my old 2.4 GHZ has unfortunately failed their service, so now I have to equip all locomotives with new receivers. Billy was the first in line.
As you can see on the video, the problem is with temperatures above zero degrees and sunshine, the rails sink unevenly in the snow. The track is then more like a roller coaster.
But it was still a lot of fun.
Let's see what happens in the next few days, low temperatures would be welcome.
