Prototype information

Rapido's OO gauge VIX No. GB787298 model is a representation of a British Rail bauxite liveried ferry van in the pre-TOPS era.

The model is based on the BR Diagram 1/227 ferry van, a type of vehicle commonly used for moving personnel and equipment. This particular model features a highly detailed underframe and body, with opening side doors allowing for a high level of realism.

The model is part of Rapido's VIX Ferry Van collection and is offered in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge layouts. The model also features NEM coupler pockets on sprung cams, allowing for smooth and secure coupling to other rolling stock.

The model is finished in a pristine condition, with a accurate representation of the BR bauxite livery, a colour scheme used by British Rail during the pre-TOPS era.
