Prototype information

The Rapido OAA No. 100093 model represents a British Rail bauxite liveried open wagon. This model is part of the Rapido BR OAA Open Wagon collection. The model is produced in OO gauge, which is a scale of 1:76.

The wagon is finished in pristine condition, reflecting its original state. The livery depicted is that of British Rail's bauxite scheme, with a yellow 'ABN' spot. This scheme was in use during the pre-TOPS era of British Rail.

The model features a highly detailed body and underframe, with many separately fitted parts. This level of detail aims to accurately replicate the real-life wagon. The underframe includes sprung buffers, which add to the model's realism. Additionally, the model is designed with NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling with other compatible models.

The model is intended to represent the BR Open AB/OAA open wagon, a type of wagon used by British Rail.
