no plassmer, the rotary plow has a motor inside it to turn the blade, not to propell it,.To make it move, couple a locomotive or 2 or 3 behind it.

(hence a railroad car cannot move itself)

rail it works awsome, and there uncoupler tool is alot more handy that the kadee uncoupler , my opinon, thats what i think.

The rix uncoupler has a magnet on each side, you lower it down between to freight cars or loco you want uncoupled then you, or another person simply pull the train forward.

the kadee magnet system takes to much eyeing and guessing, unles you makr it, put a figure by it or something. good luck
