Prototype information

The Rapido GWR Four-Plank Open No.74563 is a model railway wagon designed for OO gauge layouts. This model is part of the Rapido GWR O21 4 Plank Open collection.

The model represents a GWR four-plank open wagon, a type of wagon used by the Great Western Railway during the Big Four era, which spanned from 1923 to 1948. The Big Four era saw the merger of four major railway companies: the Great Western Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Southern Railway.

The Rapido model features a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, allowing modellers to showcase the intricate design of the wagon. The model also includes spoked wheels running on metal bearings, adding to the level of realism. The wagon is designed for use on OO gauge tracks, with NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other wagons.

The model is finished in a pristine GWR grey livery, accurately representing the colours used by the Great Western Railway during its operating era.
