DR Snowplow Loco, 99-51-53





To save time and money, small railways often build special equipment in their shops using existing parts. For example, this Spreewaldbahn snow plow was built from parts of an obsolete steam locomotive and was equipped with two plows. This unique LGB model is motorized. Plus, you can couple the model to another loco by raising either of the plows.


The Prototype
The Spreewaldbahn relied on this snowplow to keep the tracks clear during the winter months. The "Spreewald" snowplow was built from parts of the frame of an obsolete steam locomotive and was equipped with adjustable plows. Many small railways assembled similar equipment in their shops.
