Evening All
Was wondering how every one runs their trains in the snow ? I have run my snow plough round this morning pushed by 2x dash 9 and it cleared the snow of the tracks perfectly and all trains ran fine. But now the temperature has dropped there is ice lumps on the tracks and the trains are not running as the ice is stopping power and signal to the train. I run dcc shame there is no way to run a current through the track heat them up ie de-ice them. Reckon i need a hot air curtain behind the snow plough? In case anyone knows the answer to this slightly of scale but how they do it in real life as I have seen a video of points and they heat the points up when the temperature drops so all the snow and ice melts on them was thinking some form of current through the rail
Look forwards to some answers
