Hello from Germany

[ogoergen]

Hello and many thanks for invite. I am located in Germany NRW and since several years I build models in G-Scale - better in 1:22,5. My favorite prototypes are in Switzerland at home. I like real working snow plows and powered like the originals. Four years ago started wirh the Bernina Bahn a brach trial of the Rhaetian Railway, Attached you will find some pictures of them.




The electric snow plow Xrotet 9219 - the used locomotive is the live diesel powered RhB Gem 4/4 802 (Diesel and DCC, self-build)




The live steam snow plow Xrot 9213 - pushed by two electric (DCC) ABe 4/4 I (LGB)



Live Diesel modern snow plow (AC/DC) - pushed by ABe 4/4 I


So far from me - I know it is a little bit crazy, but I like develop such things. If you want some information, please do not hesitate to contact me.


With best regards Ottmar

Hello Ottmar,

Welcome to the Forum!
Proper working snow-ploughs!
None of the non-working LGB rubbish..

I am sure you will be asked many questions about these.

Welcome Ottmar, I'm very impressed with the snow ploughs. We took a trip on the Swiss Bernina lines a couple of years ago. Beautiful views and amazing an engineering feat to get the lines up the mountains.
Don't worry about your English, it's fine, just beware ofvthe jokes, they're awful

Welcome Ottmar, you will also have to be aware of our (Brits) spelling, which doesn’t help
