  1. It is a VERY good thing that I'll be using a tram to clear the line once everything is operational. The snow gets stuck all over the Forney!
  2. The snow also gets stuck in the spoked wheels of the Bachmann car. They may need to be replaced, if possible.
  3. The snowplow is at the perfect height.
  4. I have some spots on my line that are too severe a grade for the plow. They need to be eased off.
  5. I may need to add wings to the plow. If I do, I want to add them on the car itself, about 2 inches past the plow's blade. 
  6. There needs to be a lot of weight in the car. I have several ideas of how to manage this. Ultimately I think it will end up being a coal or ballast load with a slab of brick underneath.
