Prototype information

Rapido's VIX No. B787213 model represents a BR bauxite-coloured ferry van, featuring the distinctive Ferry Link logo. This model is part of the Rapido VIX Ferry Van collection and is designed to represent a British Rail vehicle from the pre-TOPS era.

The model is built to OO gauge, with a scale of 1:76. The livery is a pristine representation of the BR bauxite colours, with a high level of detail on both the underframes and bodies. The model features opening side doors, adding to its authenticity.

The underframes and bodies of the model have been highly detailed, with the inclusion of NEM coupler pockets on sprung cams, allowing for smooth and secure coupling with other models. This model is designed to be a faithful representation of a BR Diagram 1/227 ferry van, a specific design used by British Rail during the pre-TOPS era.
