Prototype information

The Rapido GWR Four-Plank open No. 14432 is a model railway wagon designed for OO gauge layouts. It features a small Great Western Railway livery in a grey finish, giving it a pristine appearance. The model represents a GWR four-plank open wagon from the Big Four period, which spanned the late 1920s to the early 1940s.

The wagon is part of Rapido's O21 4 Plank Open collection, which aims to recreate the GWR's distinctive four-plank wagons from this era. One notable feature of this model is the inclusion of either-side brakes, which were a common design feature on many GWR wagons. The model also boasts a high level of detail above and below the floor line, adding to its authenticity.

In terms of mechanical accuracy, the model features spoked wheels running on metal bearings, which provides a smooth and realistic running experience. The NEM coupler pockets allow for easy connection and disconnection of the model from other compatible wagons. The model is constructed to a scale of 1:76, making it suitable for OO gauge layouts.
