Jordan Spreader - M.O.W. Equipment by Overland in O Scale
This undecorated piece is a very unique Overland O Scale model that was created in 1982 by the craftsmen of Ajin. It is called a Jordan Spreader, OMI #0014. The actual prototype serves as a special piece of ‘Maintenance of Way’ Equipment for many different roads including Burlington Northern in the Safety Orange with white reflective Stripes (we recently sold the HO Scale version of this type). It has to be pushed by a locomotive to help it do its tasks on and along the sides of the track, such as maintaining the ballast (or gravel stones), and as a snow plow, hence the pair of huge curved plow blades. This is a working model with lots of delicate moving parts, but it is non motorized. It has some natural brass patina spots here and there and still functions amazingly! Original box included with some wear and tear. Note: The BN GP38-2B Road Slug by Overland OMI #0282 is for demonstration purposes only and is not available for sale at this time.
