Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

The Rapido APT-E Single Carriage is a model railway carriage designed for OO gauge models. It represents a British Rail carriage in the pre-TOPS era, with a British Rail Test Livery of white and green.

The model features a full articulated swinging arm trailer bogie, giving it a more realistic and detailed appearance. The exterior body contours have been 3D scanned to ensure accuracy.

The carriage is equipped with an operating tilt mechanism and close coupling system, allowing for smooth operation on curves as small as radius 2 (438mm). The interior of the carriage is fully detailed, with working interior lighting adding to the model's realism.

The model is designed to be compatible with drop-in conversions to P4 and EM gauges, making it a versatile addition to any model railway layout.
