The Rapido GNR 8 Ton Van in GN Explosives Livery No.55101 is a model of a Great Northern Railway freight van. It is designed for OO gauge models and is part of Rapido's collection of GNR 8 Ton Vans.
This specific model represents the GNR 8T express van and is accurately detailed with features such as side steps and split-spoke wheels running in metal bearings. The model also features a high level of detail both above and below the floor line, adding to its realism.
The livery application is of high quality, accurately depicting the freight van in its GN Explosives livery, with the number 55101 clearly marked. The model is designed for use with NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling of other models.
This model is suitable for pre-grouping layouts, allowing modellers to recreate the Great Northern Railway as it existed before the groupings of 1923.
