Prototype information

Rapido's OAA No. 100040 model is a representation of a BR Open AB/OAA open wagon. The model features a 'repaired' finish, indicating that it has been designed to resemble a wagon that has undergone repair work.

The wagon is painted in British Rail bauxite livery, a characteristic colour scheme of the BR Blue era. It is designed for OO gauge model railways, with a scale of 1:76.

The model features a highly detailed body, with a corresponding level of detail on the underframe. The underframe is also highly detailed and includes several separately fitted parts. The wagon is equipped with sprung buffers, providing a realistic representation of the movement and feel of the buffers.

The model is designed for use with NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and decoupling of wagons. It is part of the Rapido BR OAA Open Wagon collection, which represents the Open AB/OAA open wagons used by British Rail during the BR Blue era.

The model is designed to be used on model railways depicting the British Rail Blue period, specifically the TOPS era.
