Prototype information

Rapido's O15 model, representing the GWR No.5031, is a 1:76 scale OO gauge representation of a vacuum-fitted open goods wagon. The model depicts a 10-ton capacity wagon that would have operated during the Big Four period, which spanned from 1923 to 1948 and included the Great Western Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Southern Railway.

The model is part of Rapido's GWR 5 Plank Open collection and is designed to accurately reflect the appearance of the real-life wagons. It is supplied in GW grey with 25" letters and features high levels of detail above and below the floor line. The model includes spoked wheels running in metal bearings and NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other rolling stock.

Modellers have the option to attach the sheet rail in either operational or stowed position, adding to the model's authenticity. The Rapido O15 model is designed to provide a detailed and accurate representation of the GWR No.5031 for OO gauge enthusiasts.
