Hattons OO H4-BH-004 BR ZZA ADB965579 Stratford Shark Beilhack Snow Plough Yellow
German snow plough builders Beilhack supplied several large plough blades to British Rail in the early 1980s, designed to be mounted directly on the headstock or bufferbeam of a locomotive. However this prevented the locomotive from being used in general service so BR later mounted the ploughs permanently to the substantial bogies from scrapped class 40 or 45 locomotives, suitably ballasted to allow their use as independent snow ploughs.
Snow plough ADB965579, the 'Stratford Shark', was constructed using a class 40 bogie and is modelled in BR engineers yellow livery with shark mouth design on the plough blade.
