Prototype information

The Rapido 'Loriot Y' Machinery Truck No. 41990 is a model railway vehicle designed for OO gauge enthusiasts. This model is part of the Rapido GWR 'Loriot Y' collection and is depicted in Great Western Railway (GWR) grey livery.

The model is constructed using injection moulded and die-cast components, with separately fitted detail parts to enhance its accuracy. The level of detail is high, extending above and below the floor line. The spoked wheels are mounted on metal bearings for smooth running.

The model is designed to represent a GWR Dia. G39 'Loriot Y' vehicle, which was a type of machinery truck in service during the Big Four period. This era refers to the time when the railways were operated by the four main companies: the Great Western Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Southern Railway.

The model includes additional tie-down points to replicate the variations seen on these vehicles during their operational life. The Rapido 'Loriot Y' Machinery Truck No. 41990 is available in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge model railway layouts.
