Model Information:
Are your trains on your out door railroad always derailing because of debris like leaves and egg corns on the track?  Your back yard rail empire shut down because of last night's snow storm?  Aristo-Craft's new Wedge Snow Plow is the solution to your problems.  Our Wedge Snow Plow is designed to be shoved by your locomotive and push snow and debris out of the way.  The large wedge-shaped shovel on the front of the Wedge Snow Plow is more then a match for most leaves, egg corns and small stones, and can plow several inches of snow.  The Wedge Snow Plow can be filled with stones or other forms of weight to help it in its battle against your backyard elements.  A operating headlight will illuminate the way for those night time operations.  No outdoor railroad empire is complete without Aristo-Craft's Wedge Snow Plow!

Prototype Information:
The Aristo-Craft Wedge Snow Plow is based on common snow plows used by most railroads.  Many wedge-type snow plows are custom built in the railroad's shops.  Typically, railroads would use an old gondola that was no longer useful for normal service.  The railroad would build a large wedge-shaped plow on one end of the gondola.  The car would be filled with cement or another form of ballast to add weight.  When winter weather would strike, locomotives would shove the snow plow through any part of the railroad that was covered with snow.  Mostly replaced by locomotive pilot mounted snow plows, wedge type snow plows still operate today in areas where deep snow occur or limited service where locomotive pilot mounted snow plows are inadequate.
