This model is an HO scale reproduction of a Deutsche Bahn Beilhack snowplough. It is offered by Roco under reference 71002.
Beilhack is a German manufacturer of railway snow removal equipment, including snow ploughs. Deutsche Bahn (DB) uses Beilhack snow ploughs to clear snow from railway tracks in winter. The Beilhack ploughs used by DB are designed to remove snow and ice from rails and switches. They are equipped with blades, often V-shaped, which are attached to wagons or locomotives. The blades are often accompanied by rotating brushes to clear the rails of snow and ice particles. Beilhack snow ploughs are equipped with temperature control systems to prevent snow from freezing on the rails, which could cause delays and disruption to rail traffic. They are also equipped with snow removal systems to optimise snow clearance and minimise downtime. These snow ploughs are often used in conjunction with other snow removal equipment, such as snow blower trains and de-icers.
