The Rapido E1 No.145 'France' is a model locomotive representing the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway's (LBSCR) Improved Engine Green livery. This OO gauge model is part of the Rapido LBSCR E1 collection and is suitable for pre-grouping era layouts.

The model features a Stroudley boiler and chimney, original style smokebox door, and condensing pipes, all of which are characteristic of the LBSCR's E1 class locomotives. Additional details include the absence of coal rails and a range of other locomotive-specific features.

The model is DCC Ready, with a Next18 decoder socket provided for easy installation of a digital command control system. Other features include sprung buffers, NEM pockets, and a factory-fitted speaker for an authentic sound experience. A museum-quality finish and smooth, powerful mechanism complete the model, with many separately fitted parts adding to its level of detail.
