That is, in fact, pretty freakin' awesome.

Crazy cool, but needs some internal combustion engine or steam engine power noise to win...
Another example... looks like a different one, and this guy has the sound effect engine on his loco...
And a G-scale snowplow !!!

How the hell does this has all this traction? Damn! Really impressive, and so cool.
Also, making this thing with tires/tracks + roomba = clean driveway. I mean, if it worked constantly, never allowing snow to pile higher than an inch it'd be able to keep it clean!

I'm curious how they power those. Electricity would certainly have problems with the snow, but that's definitely an electric train...is it battery? Who knows. Wireless power would be pretty awesome for those.
It's not really a dumb question because I have a collection of antique Lionel ) O-Gauge trains. It's been a while, but I set most of the table up myself. My dad just got sick of looking at it and took the whole thing apart.

I can't stop searching scale model railroad snow blower now... THANKS OBAMA !
Here is an _HO_ gauge model with mind blowing details and controls. Even though the rotors do spin, it's just for show. Still... Impressive !

My guess is onboard electric power, versus power transmitted through the rails.

Yeah...it's been years since I've done that, but if it was set up to use rechargeable batteries, and there was a siding with a charge rail or bumper that charged it, that would be really interesting. I just wonder how they control speed and direction, because at least in the Lionel trains, it's through the controller which also provides power to the rails.
Very curious.

I suspect it's done via transmitter like an RC car. That makes the most sense to me, a fully self sustained train with a transmitter. To charge you take out the batteries, like an RC car or plane
