How well would power functions stand up to snow?

[Carefree_Dude]

I really want to do photos and video of my Christmas train steam engine going through the snow, but I'm concerned about damaging the power functions components. Everything except the back of the xl motor are protected by brick, though I'm worried about snow melting and seeping through

It should be fine in fresh clean snow.   Many Technic builders  have ran Power Functions through the snow.   Avoid salted snow, it is better at corroding metal contacts.

Wow, I love that photo! Thank you!

As can be seen in BANANENBUURMAN's video, trains and snow work fine together:

Maybe use saran wrap to protect some of the internals...? Obviously, as long as the trains aren't diving headlong into the snow, they should be fine... I think?

The problem would be snow ingress. That excavator keeps all it's PF high and away from the snow, but a PF train motor is a good bit lower.

Clearly it's possible to run in the snow, but I would be careful about clearing the snow away from the tracks slightly or tamping it down a bit first just to try to reduce the likelihood of any loose snow being inadvertently hoovered up into the motor.

WOW this video is so sweet!

I love this train with one wagon more! 

Thanks for sharing!
