The origins of the bogie-mounted snowploughs can be traced back to the early 1980s when specialist German manufacturer Beilhack supplied several large plough blades to British Rail. Significantly more substantial than standard miniature snowploughs, these blades were originally planned to be mounted directly onto locomotive bufferbeams.
