Description

The AtlasO Premier 3-rail O Scale Russell Snow Plow is based on a typical wedge plow used across the continent. For railroads in much of the U.S. and Canada, dealing with snow is a perennial problem. The earliest railroad plows were likely derived from agricultural plows, and were the first instance of a plow being pushed from behind rather than pulled by horses or oxen. In 1840, little more than a decade after the first steam engine plied American rails, Charles Lowbaert was granted a patent for a wedge, or |bucker,} railroad plow. Like this model, that pioneering snowplow featured an inclined plane to bring the snow up off the rails and a pointed, triangular wedge to throw it to both sides of the track. This model features trucks with free-rolling fast-angle wheelsets, fine paint, crisp lettering and knuckle couplers. Decorated in classic or later schemes, the Russell Snow Plow can negotiate O-31 curves and is perfect for your steam and diesel-era freight consists. Check out the entire line of Atlas O freight cars.
