Prototype information

The Rapido D1426 10t Covered Van is a model of a British Railways (BR) goods wagon, produced in OO gauge. It is part of the Rapido SECR 10t Covered Goods Wagon collection. The model represents a van from the early days of British Railways, specifically the period when the railway was still in the process of adopting the new crest.

The model is based on the SECR Diagram 1426 covered goods van, a design that featured curved rain strips and separately-fitted end ventilators. The model is constructed from injection moulded plastic with metal detailing parts, allowing for a high level of detail to be achieved both above and below the floor line. The wheels are split-spoked and run on metal bearings, while the model is designed to be coupled using NEM couplers.

The model is finished in pristine BR grey livery and is available in OO gauge, which is equivalent to 1:76 scale.
