Roco 71002 H0 Beilhack snow plow of DB
What was who... next winter is definitely coming!Since the beginning of the railway era, it is necessary to clear the tracks in case of snow or snow. The spectrum of railway service vehicles ranges from simple snow cover plates to large snow plows to high-performance snow sluice.At the Deutsche Bundesbahn, it became necessary to replace the old, still steam-powered snow sluice from the 1960er. In the Alps, in the Allgaeu and abroad, various small heavy-duty vehicles were tested with Beilhack diesel snow plow units. One disadvantage of these vehicles was the use of an additional locomotive for the feed.In order to make snow clearing even more efficient, a high-performance self-propelled snow plow has been developed. This enabled snow heights of up to 3 meters to be overcome. This would have made you perfectly prepared for any weather conditions. After extensive test runs, however, the series delivery to the Deutsche Bundesbahn was delayed until the beginning of the 1990er.This text is machine translated.
